Unicode approximation instead of Lilypond

LP: (block of code) :LP (each delimeter at start of its line)

Ties (like Lilypond's, if you don't want dashes)Įrhu fingering (applies to previous note) Prohibit page breaks until end of this movement L: here are the syl- la- bles (all on one line) Time signature with quaver anacrusis (8th-note pickup) Semiquaver, quaver, crotchet (16/8/4th notes)ĭotted versions of the above (50% longer)ĭemisemiquaver, hemidemisemiquaver (32/64th notes) Text files are whitespace-separated and can contain: Run jianpu-ly ly-file (or jianpu-ly text-files > ly-file)

His style of jianpu is different from that produced by my jianpu-ly (which also has a different input format). (I would put their name here if I could find it.)Īdditionally, David Zhang of Beijing extended this idea into a tighter integration of jianpu with Lilypond, often called jianpu10a.ly, which provides a JianpuStaff that accepts normal Lilypond code and translates it (a bit like Lilypond's TabStaff). For Chinese users, someone has written a Chinese summary of jianpu-ly which looks right.
