Lately I've been just reconstructing my lead sheets in lilypond. It's very sparse text and quick work to get a score that looks just like a real book lead sheet, plus you can customize the chart however you want, and then check it in to git for revision history. There's a "lilyjazz" font floating around out there that makes it look handwritten.

If I may plug my own project here, I wrote an online editor wrapping lilypond and some other software to generate lead sheets (Jazz fonts preinstalled):

Username truly checks out. Lilypond is amazing. Still in the learning curve but the results are senstational.
