文部省唱歌「螢の光」の篠笛譜。投稿者が譜面作成。

This is a Japanese version of old and famous Schottish song "Auld Lang Syne", called "Hotaru-no-hikari (The Glow of Fireflies)" in Japan. Words by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science , Sports, and Culture (now, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology); no copyrighted matter. The sheet is for Shinobue (a sort of Japanese flute), drawn by myself.

The first line (column) is the title. Lines are pleyed from right to left. In each line, the notes are played from top to bottom. In this example, optional words for singing are included (the right side of each column). Notes are represented by numbers indicating tone-hole(s) to be closed. Numbers are in Kanji (Chinese charactor) and Alabic. Alabic number means 8va. Slashes and reversed slashes are marks to elongate former note. Dots mean a pause. Lines rightward of notes indicate rhythm.
