    The best workaround I've found so far is using a E7b9/G# (for a G#dim Maj7)

    I think you mean E7#9/G#

    Yes, this is another problem. I wish we could have more control over voicings and inversions

    You can also try E7/F. That way IRP will play the E note in a higher position than the F note (for F dim Maj7)

    Sounds great! Thanks for adding it!
    And while we're at it, here's a list that I've compiled a while ago of all the missing chords that would be needed in IRP. Those chords below can't be emulated by using slash chords:

    C2(Maj7) or CMaj9(omit 3): 1, 2, 5, 7 (can be used to play a Gsus(add3)
    C(#4): 1, 5, 3, #4
    C(b5): 1, 3, b5
    Cm13: 1, b3, 5, b7, 9, 11, 13
    Cm(add9): 1, b3, 5, 9 (for pop/rock/folk)
    Cm7(add11): 1, b3, 5, b7, 11
    Dim(Maj7): 1, b3, b5, 7
    Cm7(add13): 1, b3, 5, b7, 13
    C-9(add13): 1, b3, 5, b7, 9, 13
    C7(omit 3): 1, 5, b7 (for blues/rock)
    C (bass): 1
    CMaj13(#11): 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, #11, 13
    C(b9): 1, b9, 3, 5 (for flamenco)
    C13b9(#11): 1, b7, b9, 3, #11, 13
    CMaj7sus: 1, 4, 5, 7
