Hello,

 I have a question,  does Vexflow support Chinese Jianpu ?

I don't think it natively Supports what you're asking. I did find this from: https://anuccme.com/jianpu



We have tried to find a good English language jianpu score-writing program which can score for the whole ensemble.

Unfortunately there are few resources available, however we have had some success with Simperhu - a free package that allows you to type simple jianpu into a word document. Simperhu was developed for writing scores for erhu, and for this it is very efficient - the key commands allow you to type out music quite fast and with very good results.

Simperhu can be downloaded here: https://simperhu.weebly.com/

The two main restrictions for using Simperhu for arranging for the whole ensemble are that the program only allows you to stack two numbers above each other at a time (as erhu only has two strings!) and while the symbol set is very comprehensive for erhu it doesn’t have many of the symbols specific to other instruments, eg. pipa (which has notoriously many).

We have found several workarounds and have successfully arranged existing scores with five parts. We are working on a short set of instructions to help others do the same if they wish, and hope to make these available soon.

Hello,

I’m trying to implement a program to plot the following style TAB + Jianpu + lyrics, is it possible to do some adaptation with vex flow?  If I want to implement mouse editing, do you think it is a good choice to develop based on vexflow?
