Ci Tune Patterns and Tone Checker

A ci poem is written to a fixed tune: each line has a set number of characters, a tone pattern, and rhyme positions. Pick one of six common tunes — Yi Jiang Nan, Ru Meng Ling, Huan Xi Sha, Bu Suan Zi, Qing Ping Yue and Die Lian Hua — and the tool lays out every line separately. Fill in your draft, mark characters as level or oblique, and the checker compares them with the pattern. Character counts and rhyme positions are checked automatically; whether the rhyme characters really belong to one rhyme group is left to you and a rhyme book.
