About Lingxian

Get the everyday work of a qin player
right first.

Lingxian starts from how guqin jianzipu scores are actually edited, and removes the repetitive labor in entering, laying out, saving, sharing and collaborating.So that a score can keep being revised, move cleanly between people, and last.

Independently builtIn open betaDriven by real feedback

Why

We aim at real problems

Handwritten scores are hard to revise; general document tools do not understand the structure of jianzipu; and as a score passes between teacher, student and society, versions and comments lose their context.

Lingxian is not meant to replace traditional handbooks, nor to hand every problem to artificial intelligence. It is first of all a tool that understands the structure of a guqin score.

Make the content editable, saveable and traceable first; extend collaboration and intelligence step by step.

Entry and layout

Handwriting / documents / screenshots

The same content is carried around by hand, and one change shifts the whole page.

Versions in motion

Where a change came from is unclear, and old drafts cannot be compared with the current one.

Keeping comments

Chat logs, annotated screenshots and positions in the score live in different places

A comment needs to anchor reliably to a section, a note and a specific change.

How we build

Start from a structured score

Every product decision is measured against one standard: does it make real notation work more accurate, less effortful and easier to step back from.

01

Give the score structure

Store symbols, fingerings, rhythm and sections as computable data, so editing, validation and version history all rest on one score.

One score, one data set
02

Design around the whole workflow

From entry and layout through saving, printing and collaboration, solve first the problems that come up in sequence in one real notation task.

The complete editing flow
03

Keep intelligent actions under control

A model understands the request; deterministic tools carry it out. Any change to a score keeps preview, confirmation, verification and undo.

Preview and undo guaranteed

Under construction

Let real use decide what comes next.

Lingxian is built and maintained by one student and is in continuous beta. Features are validated in a narrow scope first, then connected into the full editing flow.
