Sheng

I was thinking of writing up some music for a sheng but I got a problem-I don't know how to lol.
The written ranges are given on wiki I just don't know where the notes are on the staff (it gives me numbers).
Sheng (instrument) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
help
keyed sheng etc

Keyed sheng

Currently, there are four main ranges of keyed sheng, forming a family of soprano, alto, tenor and bass. All of them are chromatic throughout their range, and tuned to the equal temperament scale.

* Gaoyin sheng (高音笙, pinyin Gāoyīn Shēng)
36-pipe sheng with a soprano range of G3 to F#6 (Taking middle C = C4). Uses treble clef
* Zhongyin sheng (中音笙, pinyin Zhōngyīn Shēng)
36-pipe sheng with an alto range of C3 to B5. Perfect 5th lower than Gaoyin sheng. It has an additional row of 12 keys coloured in black, which when depressed plays all 3 pipes corresponding to the same note in different octaves. E.g., pressing the black "C" causes the notes C3, C4 and C5 to be sounded simultaneously. Uses treble and alto clefs.
* Cizhongyin sheng (次中音笙, pinyin Cìzhōngyīn Shēng)
36-pipe sheng with a tenor range of G2 to F#5. One octave lower than soprano sheng. Uses alto clef, or treble clef transposed down an octave.
* Diyin sheng (低音笙, pinyin Dīyīn Shēng)
32-pipe sheng with a bass range of C2 to G4. Uses bass clef.

those are what i would like to know
thankee.
