  abstract = {Number-based music notation (NMN) offers an intuitive way to represent music, using numbers to denote pitches. Widely used in Chinese music education, it serves both as an accessible entry point for learners and as a comprehensive system for expressing and conceptualising music. NMN's versatility and adaptability both stem from and are influenced by musical education systems across various cultures, helping students engage with music straightforwardly and effectively. We examine NMN's historical and modern usage in both Eastern and Western contexts, highlighting the extensive adoption of Jianpu in 20th and 21st-century China. We also explore its integration into computer music software, databases, and encodings. We discuss how NMN can represent both simple and complex musical structures, emphasizing its potential for broader incorporation into digital humanities initiatives, including encoding systems such as MEI.},
