But it's still *far* away from the look of normal jianpu notation as
used e.g. for the Erhu in Taiwan.  Attached you can find a typical
example, created with the a1soft program, together with a
`translation' to lilypond.

Note that I don't say that the output of a1soft program is optimal
compared to manually printed jianpu scores.  But lilypond's output is
still too different.

[And sorry, I currently don't have access to my erhu music book right
now to show a scan of a manually printed jianpu page.]
