Digital Tradition Mirror

This notation is pretty simple; dark circles mean covered holes; empty circles mean uncovered holes; a '+' below means to blow harder to get the upper octave; a '#' below means this note is too low for the whistle chosen and you'll have to fake it :) The author of this program always plays accidentals by closing holes, so you'll never see half-covered holes.

When I was starting, I found notation like this to be very helpful, and I know plenty of people who have trouble reading music who find this notation easier. Good luck!

Girl I Left Behind Me (Play Party)

Straight across the hall to the opposite lady
Swing her by your right hand,
Now the lady on your left
And promenade the girl behind you.
     Oh that girl, that pretty little girl
     The girl I left behind me,
     The more I drink, the less I think
     Of the girl I left behind me.

Note: circle of 4 or 8 couples.
