I'm looking for jianpu music notation software. Two days of searching on the net turns up only S-Music from http://www.a1soft.com/smusic/index.htm.

It has a few good points
1. free
2. portable, does not require install, just run the exe
3. simple and easy to use, does it's job well
4. relatively quick and easy input

It has a few problems
1. there's no import or export, only saves it's own internal smned file format
2. I can't find any other program that reads it's smned format
3. does not play back the song
4. no midi input

The biggest problem is (1) and (2). I cannot import songs from other formats, and would have to retype it in. Once I typed them in, the songs would be "locked" in this format, as there's no export function, and other programs don't read it's format.

There's a ton of old chinese music printed in jianpu notation. Surely there's got to be a few popular jianpu program right? Or is my problem I don't read/write chinese, and perhaps "jianpu" is the wrong term to search under.

In case anyone wonders what is jianpu, it looks like this. You've probably seen it.

I found some software that supports ABC notation. If there's a jianpu to/from abc converter, I'll be very happy. The problem with abc is I find it hard to sight read. The same song above looks like this in abc.
