I'm a little lost in this conversation, but I'm curious about it. My understanding of banjo or guitar charts is a staff, maybe with nothing much but slash notation and some kind of tab diagrams with or without standard chord symbols. My understanding of a lead sheet (which I've played from occasionally), is a treble staff with the tune written out and chord symbols above it (which is what you get in a C "fake book").
If I'm misunderstanding these two terms, please help. If I have them right, the lead sheet is standard and easy to improvise from. Unless the banjo/guitar charts have the melody written out on the staff, you'd have to know the melody already to do anything but improvise chords and background riffs.
Sorry if this is a little naive - I've done a little of this kind of playing but not much and not lately.
