When you crack the ro slightly in the first line, do you also meri downward, or should the note pop in without the meri move? Is half holing always accompanied with a meri move? Thanks, Steven!
When you go from ri to ro it will usually go to the higher ro. There are also the signs of otsu 乙 (lower octave) and kan 甲 (upper octave), which are not used in this example.
