I'm absolutely astounded that I found another shakuhachi player on | |
gopher. Seriously, I'm in awe. | |
I'll have to pull your gopher hole up on a different device to try | |
and decypher your notation system. It didn't come through clearly | |
in lynx. I just did a little search and it looks like some of the | |
characters used for notation (the Katakana characters) are | |
available in UTF-8. Let me give this a try: | |
Notes: | |
ロ - Ro | |
ツ - Tsu | |
レ - Re | |
チ - Chi | |
リ - Ri | |
ヒ - Hi | |
ウ - U | |
イ - I | |
ル - Ru | |
コロ - Ko Ro | |
ゴロ - Go Ro | |
ヵラ - Ka Ra | |
Decorations: | |
メ - Meri | |
ー - Breath mark | |
ヽ - Repeated note | |
゠ - Song ends | |
I'm not sure how to make reference the vertical speed changes yet, | |
but we can figure things out as we go. | |
And with that, using a vertical 66 column wide R->L format, and | |
trying to take into account the japanese double-wide characters, | |
here's a really simple children's song (I really hope this works): | |

Whew! That was a bit of work for even a simple song, but I really | |
like the final look of it. Please, please, please work on gopher! | |
If it does, I may transcribe a bunch of my music, including fun | |
little tunes I improvise. | |

Yin Feng, you made my whole week! | |
