Hi CombatCube,
Thanks for your interest and you're welcome to contribute.
I know lower-octave dots are placed below the beam lines in the
conventional Jianpu.
But still I prefer to have the octave dots right underneath the note
number so that it's easier to read the note value and it's consistent
with placement of octave dots for other notes in the same chord. We can
keep the beams at the same distance from the notes by always keeping
enough space for the octave dots between the note number and the beams.
IMHO, the maximum possible number of octave dots would be 4 or less for
each direction, lower and upper.
I think the conventional Jianpu would stack the dots vertically.
But we can have all possible dots in 2 rows with 2 adjacent dots in a
row, as follows (with each "o" representing a dot).
o o
o o
I am ok with adjustments on other things.
We have an issue page for adding Jianpu support in MuseScore at
following location (issue #141581).
https://musescore.org/en/node/141581
You're welcome to add your compilation there.
BTW, where did you buy the Jianpu book? Is it in Chinese?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,
I'm very interested in the work you're doing and I'm willing to
contribute. I purchased a book on jianpu notation and I'm going to
compile some references to compare with. It's looking great so far!
I'd just like to recommend adding a few style options to perhaps
improve the look of the score.
- Number font. Most of my reference material appears to use a
sans-serif rather than serif font for numbers.
- Beam thickness and spacing. It appears a beam should be no thicker
than a barline, and the distance between beams should be about 1/4 the
height of a number.
- Octave change dot position. According to Wikipedia and my reference
material, each note in a chord indeed has its own octave change
dot(s), but the bottom note's dot(s) should go below the beam lines.
This allows the beam lines to stay in the same position relative to
the notes. I'm concerned that the inconsistency might be too jarring
for seasoned players.
Seeing how good the score is looking, I suspect you'll be tweaking
these numbers soon enough, and adding these options would be a logical
next step. If you're too encumbered, I'd be happy to implement them
myself when appropriate.
Keep it up!
CombatCube

Staff line is removed and fillRect function is used to draw

See the snapshot of current implementation below.

Still, adjustment for ties and note positions in the chord are
needed and other stuff like key signature, etc., need to be added.
