Welcome to LilyPond, Zhanming! There was a good bit of discussion about jianpu in LilyPond about 10years ago; a search of the archives might be interesting. In the mean time, jianpu-ly <https://ssb22.user.srcf.net/mwrhome/jianpu-ly.html> could be worth study.

My first attempt was completely building it from scratch in Haskell, but I stopped after I realised that my data structure is not as complete as other solutions like LilyPond and GUIDO after I read their documentations. So I decided to extend LilyPond. > > This is my first time contributing to a large software, and I am not quite sure where to begin, Scheme part or C++ part? I guess jiǎnpǔ only needs its own engraver implementation, and its markup could probably be the same as of stave. Thanks in advance if there is anyone can help me start working on it :). I will be installing LilyDev while I wait. > > Regards, > Zhanming >
