I'm looking for a way to generate basic lead sheets / charts for folks to follow at a bar jam night. Basic stuff. "A" section, "B" section, chord names and perhaps the key. 4 measures a line, no need for rhythm or lyrics. See image in link:

I had thought LilyPad would do this but even with ChatGPT I can't quite get something as basic as I want! Happy to use geeky tools to do this - LaTeX etc.
Has anyone done something similar? Or is good old pen and paper plus a photocopier the way forward?

I just tried MuseScore and the sheer number of settings was overwhelming - I can see it's a powerful bit of kit.
Thanks both.
And agreed, a Word template would go a long way to getting the same result. Sledgehammer / nut etc etc.
I'm enjoying the chordsheet site - have just entered 8 songs in no time at all, to the level that can be shared / used by someone who isn't me. Have yet to explore the font size control. Can I make the chord letters big enough to see across the stage or when the page is on the floor.

With a word processor you can use tab positions to makes sure your bars line up. You can also insert images of TAB and stave if a song really needs it.
