Simple chord/lyrics sheets? |

Hi. I'm new to LilyPond, but I'm familiar with the TeX-like compilation model.
I'm looking for a way to produce chord sheets of the kind used by several of the communities I play with. These are very much akin to a lead sheet -- with bar lines, time signatures, chord names above, repeat marks, etc. -- but there are no stave lines or notes.
I'm looking for a way to produce these which:
- Is fast and convenient to write
- Produces an attractive and readable end-product
- Is easy to distribute by email etc.
I've found a way of doing this in LilyPond by making the notes and stave invisible -- but lyrics are tied to notes, to even though I'm not displaying notes, I have to write them -- breaking the "fast and convenient to write" requirement.
- Is LilyPond the right program to tackle this, or would something else be better (some LaTeX package?)
- If LilyPond, can I produce lyrics without corresponding notes?
