Dear developers,

I am thinking of adding support for an alternative musical notation that is 
widely used in China called jiǎnpǔ, which looks distinct from stave, using 
numbers to represent pitch. 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
