Can you lead me to some “English/Western notation” on the quote for this piece?
I know, it’s a little lazy not to invest some time in being able to read the original, but… I can barely read western notation as it is! 🙂

What does the space in the notation R gR mean? (Space between R and g). Similarly what does it mean when there is no space between the notes
