To my completely (musically) untrained eye that looks like regular
kanji / katakana marked up with mouth shapes and sustain! Like the
bastard child of hangul, chinese and japanese!
Does anyone have any links to documentation on this notation?

  Greetings,
 Yesterday I received a query from a familiar of mine, who's working
 at The Russian State University for the Humanities.
 Recently he visited a concert of guys, who study at Moscow
 Conservatory, Department "World Musical Cultures", where ancient
 music of Japan, India and other countries was played. As he asked,
 how they managed to get scores, he was told, there are some that
 are "marked" (not a good term - it's just my bad English's fault)
 with ancient notes. Here is a screenshot:

 So I pass his question: is entering or displaying of these notes
 supported by any of open source score editores? I know that here
 are some TiMidity guys who may know more about it.
 Thank you in advance!
