How To Write On The Staff Lines
I want just chord and chord degrees on the lead sheet. But those don’t fit the space above the staff. Making the font smaller isn’t an option because to make them fit the font become unreadable.
I don’t use the staff. So the staff occupy space for no reason. Still I want measure lines.
Is there a way to write chord degrees or chords where the staff lines exist.
It would be great If I remove the lines between the highest and the lowest lines of the staff. Then the staff becomes a rectangle and I’m be able to write in that.
Any ideas?

You can't remove the middle lines on a staff, they are always removed from bottom to top.
You can check Invisible staff lines in staff/part properties to hide all of the staff lines and leave the barlines. You can then adjust all of the chords at the same time by right clicking one and then choose Select all similar items. You can then move them all at once using the inspector (F8). This is a rare case where I would suggest that you uncheck Automatic Placement. You can then adjust the Y offset so the chords are between the barlines. Leaving Automatic placement checked will prevent the chords from moving down on top of the invisible staff lines.

1) How to delete "rest" signs on the staff? Chord Names and Rest Signs looks like stuffed on the staff.
2) Can I create a template of this setup?

1) You can make the rests invisible in my method by right clicking any rest and choosing select all similar elements (on staff if appropriate) and pressing V.
2) A template with this setup should work, though I haven't tried it. Also, you will probably have to fix all of the chord symbols every time, I don't think there is a way to turn off any automatic placement in a template.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer mike320. It works.
