Perpetually confused.

I'm not sure how much this will help everyone else, but I thought I'd add my two cents.
After quite a lot of searching, I came up short with a proper finger chart (or what I considered one to be) for ocarina that would give me a quick way to learn each note as it corresponds to the fingering on the instrument, obviously to train me to sight-read sheet music. When learning a new instrument, using tabs makes it easy to learn songs, I will not argue with that. However, I feel that tabs are quite, for lack of a better word, bulky once you get past the initial awkwardness.

I never much cared to memorize the notes by name. Finger memory is my preferred method to play once I'm comfortable with what I'm doing. It's much better than mind memory, anyway, if that makes sense. So, here you go! Pardon the sloppy ocarina outline; that was scarcely my priority.

Color background for those who don't want as much eye strain. Hope this helps, and feel free to point out any errors I may have made. Heaven knows I don't double-check as often as I should.

P.S. Not all transverse ocs look the same, I know. In this case, the leftmost subhole in the chart is what you see as the leftmost on one such as this when playing.

I require a font of frighteningly accurate yet infuriatingly nonspecific information.
Do you know where I can find a wellspring of this sort?
