Re: A basic question of Lilypond

[wyanshan]

Dear Carl Sorensen

Thank your for your kindness.
I want to design an app like Frescobaldi but with Chinese Jianpu input . I have 
replied Jonas in previous email with several snapshots.
I really want to design one, so I just want to know the possibility if this can 
be achieved…
Silas S.Brown of Cambridge University is a great man, he designs the China 
Jianpu.PY file that can realize  part of my target. 
I just want to do it like the snapshot below this email. 
Much thanks.
