One way to do this would be to use the fact that you can customise chord symbols - so you could make a set of chord symbols that are the usual chord symbol but with an open parenthesis before it and another set that did things like C-7) ... I'll remind myself how you customise chord symbols in Denemo and come back to you on this.
