I don't read music - by which I mean I can't read music. Never learnt. Ergo, I can't write music. Someone has asked if a couple of the children's songs I wrote for church things could be scored for piano... is there software that could do this? Does anyone know? No worries if not - I've given them a chord sheet for both guitar and ukulele - they're just being lazy. I'm hoping technology will let me be lazier Leo

A decent pianist should be able to work with the chords and come up with something, Leo. Even just "strumming" them or "dum chinging" them works OK on piano.

There is software that does this well but your tactic is probably the best!

Yep, any keyboard player in that setting ought to be able to play from chord charts. In fact, if you don't have a piano part, then sheet music isn't going to do them a lot of good.
As an aside, years ago I was involved with a church in London where we had some students from the Royal College of Music join the band along with us amateurs. It was interesting to see what caused panic: being asked to read notation or transpose on one side, and being asked to improvise on the other. A lot of those folks were amazing, as long as everything was written down.
