guqin jianzipu font
Noto Qin Jianzipu 3.0.1
本字體是一個基於思源黑體的減字譜字體。本字體只包括拉丁字母，以及減字譜字符，以免字體過大。
減字譜是用合字符（Ligatures）而寫，若您所用的軟件沒有合字功能，或者沒開啟合字功能，則不會顯示減字譜。
本字體基本上只有下述的字符，這並非是所有所存在的減字譜，所以如果缺一個，請發個Issue 。
This is a sans-serif font for writing Jianzipu, based off Noto Sans SC. This font only includes latin glyphs and qin font ligatures.
Ligatures are used to type jianzipu , if your software/word processor does not support ligatures or does not have them enabled, this will not work.
Generally only the Jianzipu characters detailed below are included, please make an issue if you need any more characters , I recognise this is not a complete set.
每一字部都起於一個命令字符，如斜后杠 、斜杠/ 、聯號-等等，加所需要的字碼。
一個減字譜字符可以由多字部拼起，比如「大指7徽6分勾7弦」所需要的字部是：勾7弦、大指、7徽、6分四個，字碼是： 7g/da/7^6 。先輸下面的「底部」字部（勾7弦），然後再加後綴，中間不要加空格。後綴可以以任何順序加上。
若要輸撮，可以將兩個減字譜用||並在一起，雙方不要加空格，否則字距會出錯。
Every character component starts with a command character, such as backslash, forward slash, hyphen, etc. followed by the required character code.
One jianzipu character is made up of many components, so a 「大指7徽6分勾7弦」 is split into the right hand fingering and position, the left hand fingering, the hui number, and the hui fraction: 7g/da/7^6 . The base character block is written first and all modifiers are added on, with no spaces.
For combining characters such as 撮, use two vertical bars and make sure to have no spaces between the characters being combined, otherwise the spacing will be wrong.
斜后杠指「底部」，指右手指法與所彈之弦的部分。
Backslash commands refer to body blocks, those which describe the right hand technique, along with string number.
「 # 」代表一個1 到7 的數字。
還有一些左手、特殊字符用斜后杠寫：
There are also several special/left hand technique symbols written with backslash:
歷、散#如一如何加數字見下方。
-聯號Dash聯號指上下滑、中下小數字。 Dashes represent the middle small numbers used for movement or 歷.
外部不能與其他數字一塊用。
/斜杠Forwardslash 與^補字號Caret用於左手指法、徽位，以及散、就、泛、綽、注等標誌。
Used in left hand fingering and position, as well as general techniques including 散、就、泛、綽、注.
||合號Combining Characters撮（及反撮）是將兩個字符合在一起。以下的是要放在兩個字符之間。
撮combines two jianzipu blocks, and goes in the space between them.
The otf can be downloaded from releases when available.
This font is made using fontlab. You will require fontlab to open the source vfc file. Alternatively you can open the font file itself using another program.
This font does not come with any Han character glyphs so it is advised to also download Noto Sans SC separately if you want to add to it.
Noto Sans SC is the base font, and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License and this is also licensed accordingly. The base font is also in this repository (for convenience).
You can use them freely in your products & projects - print or digital, commercial or otherwise. However, you can't sell the fonts on their own.
This isn't legal advice, please consider consulting a lawyer and see the full license for all details.
The Jianzipu decomposition method is entirely my own. Please attribute me if you are going to use my method as a basis of your work.
