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

iWhew! That was a bit of work for even a simple song, but I really
ilike the final look of it. Please, please, please work on gopher!
iIf it does, I may transcribe a bunch of my music, including fun
ilittle tunes I improvise.

iYin Feng, you made my whole week!
