- Can I write jianpu on my phone?

- Can I export jianpu to PDF?
- Yes, export any score to a print-ready A4 PDF in jianpu (or tonic solfa). Octave dots, beams, and lyrics all render in the export.
- Does it render octave dots and beam underlines correctly?
- Yes, that's the core of doing jianpu properly. DomiSol places octave dots above/below the number and draws beam underlines for shorter durations, with the beam position switchable between the Chinese (below) and Indonesian (above) conventions.
- Can it convert sheet music to jianpu?
- Yes. Upload a photo or PDF of a printed or handwritten score and DomiSol's image-to-score recognition returns an editable jianpu (or solfa) score. You can also import a MusicXML or MIDI file from MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius, or any DAW and DomiSol converts the staff notation to jianpu or solfa in your browser.
- Can the same editor write tonic solfa?
- Yes. DomiSol writes both jianpu and tonic solfa and flips between them on any score with one click, same music, different glyphs. See the dedicated tonic solfa editor page for details.
