I have the songs fully scored out in LilyPond. My guitarist is scared by the lines and dots, so I want to give him a simple lead sheet — without having to redo all the work I’ve already done aligning chords and lyrics. (I am committed to the principle of single-source authoring in my textual and musical worlds.)

It seems like LilyPond should be able to do that, using an invisible staff for the melody, and indeed, I’m 95% of the way there, with Aaron’s tips on suppressing the staff and Kieren’s tips on spacing (which I haven’t fully digested yet).

It looks like another win for LilyPond, to me!

Emperor Norton had the right idea.
