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!

Meadowlands Meadowlands, meadowlands, Through you heroes now are treading Red army heroes of the nation Heroes of the mighty Red army, ah! Maidens are weeping Their solitary vigils keeping Weeping for their sweethearts who are fighting Fighting in the mighty Red army, ah! Gay roads are winding The sunlight on them now is shining Over them the heroes are passing Heroes of the mighty Red army, ah! Let ev'ry maiden With heart no longer heavy laden Strike up the singing now more loudly Sing our fighting song so proudly, ah! SOF
