Converting doesn't change the music
Tonic solfa and jianpu are both movable-do systems: a note is written by its position in the key, not as a fixed pitch. So converting a score re-labels the same music rather than altering it — and once it is in, changing key is one click, because every degree already knows where it sits.
That is also why a piece can be written 1 = C or 6 = A without a single note moving — see minor keys and Chinese modes.
