put the guitar chords above the staff as seen on the notes?

I was just wondering if there is any way to put the guitar chords(and hopefully play styles too) above the staff as seen on the notes?

It would be really convenient and looks something like the below.

Am            Em            F              E7  .....

Of course what I meant was "put the guitar chords" and the noteworthy composer should PLAYS 'em correspondingly. :)

This is far from automatic, but it is the only way I know of to get NWC to strum natural-sounding guitar chords.  Go to this link to the NWC Scriptorium and unzip the file http://nwc-scriptorium.org/ftp/helpful/guitarstrum.zip
besure to read the Read Me file first so the files make sense when you construct a guitar chord part with them.  I am a guitarist myself and I put a lot of time and trial and error into these files to make them sound like the guitarist who isn't really there.

Thank you very much.

I'm gonna try "the guitarstrum" when I get back home.
