Re: A basic question of Lilypond

[wyanshan]

Thank you Jonas Hahnfeld very much!
I am very happy you advertise Fescobaldi to me, I will study it, because that’s 
what I need. But I am from China,
In China, we use 『1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1』 instead of stave (fine lines), please see 
the snapshot below (snapshot with red English on top).
In lilypond website, I see one popular music example (snapshot  with red arrow) 
which comes with chords, this tells me Lilypond can do a
Lot of thing including guitar music such as the first snapshot (with red 
English on top), though I do not know a lot with programming and software 
development.
My final target is I can design an app like Frescobaldi but with Chinese Jianpu 
input method in editors.
The Chinese Jianpu .PY file is provided by Cambridge University Silas S. Brown 
(see the last snapshot). The PY file is attached in this mail and the relevant 
website is :

http://ssb22.user.srcf.net/mwrhome/jianpu-ly.html 
<http://ssb22.user.srcf.net/mwrhome/jianpu-ly.html>

The Chinese Jianpu PY file can just parse the input typeset into something that 
lilypond can analyse and then generate PDF, but  too simple. This can not meet 
my requirement as the snapshot
With red Enghlish on top (the first snapshot, a song that girl).
Can I realize such a target? Could someone talks about the possibility to 
achieve it?
