Kathy,
I've arranged many lyrics with chords in simple word docs, never melody.
I'll just make a simple chord/lyric sheet and also have a sound recording
of it as I've always done. You really don't need anything more than that
unless you are writing instrumentals and formal scoring. If I write
anything worth pitching to someone or putting on my own CD, I'd probably
get some musicians to help out with a better demo or complete
instrumentation and vocals, but you still don't need a formal arrangement.
