Band-in-a-box is my favorite program for printing lead sheets. Once you have the options set up to give an output that looks good to you, all you do is enter melody and chords. This usually goes very fast. BIAB automatically gives a clean and easy-to-read output. Looks good on paper and on the screen. Shopuld work well with your laptop-on-its-side idea.
