Noteedit and its successor nted will not do this for you. No slash symbol in either. Musescore (mscore) will let you pick and place a slash symbol on your staff. Not the easiest interface for this particular task and you must enter every single one of them (this is otherwize a better up-and-coming WYSIWYG scorer, not dependent upon Lilypond), but it will work! If you have any version of "Jammer" around (windows, not GPL, costs $), it will run using wine and lead-sheets is what this program does. Formatting for printout is not up to Lilypond and such but it does work. You do not need to enter the slashes. (After you have entered some chords, you can try some styles and see what an arranging tool this thing is!)
