Music Notation Maker — write sargam, taal & shabad

Elige un taal (ciclo rítmico), toca cada beat y define el swara —Sa Re Ga Ma con marcas de komal, tivra y octava— y luego escribe el shabad o la letra debajo de cada beat. La partitura dibuja automáticamente los divisores de vibhag y los marcadores de sam, tali y khali. Descárgala gratis como PNG, PDF o Excel, sin registro ni marca de agua.

Es un creador de notación india / sargam: escribe los swaras Sa Re Ga Ma sobre una cuadrícula de taal, el sistema estándar para el Gurmat Sangeet (kirtan sij) y la música clásica indostánica. No produce notación occidental de pentagrama de cinco líneas con claves de sol o de fa. Si quieres partituras de sargam, shabad y taal, está creado exactamente para eso.

Sí. Escribe tanto los swaras como la letra en escritura gurmukhi (panyabí), devanagari (hindi) o latina, de modo que la misma hoja sirve por igual para el shabad kirtan de Gurmat Sangeet y para la música clásica indostánica. El komal se muestra como un subrayado, el tivra Ma como una línea superior, y las octavas inferior/superior como puntos debajo o encima del swara.

Descarga cada hoja como PNG (para compartir rápido por WhatsApp), PDF (un material listo para imprimir) o Excel (una cuadrícula editable). Añade tu nombre en el campo de crédito del profesor o activa una marca de agua, y se imprimirá en cada exportación para que los alumnos siempre sepan de qué profesor proviene la notación.

Open Setup and tap 'Create a custom taal', then set the name, the number of matras (beats), how the vibhags (sections) divide them, and which beats are sam, tali or khali markers. Once applied it's saved to your browser and appears alongside the built-in taals like Teentaal and Ektaal for future sheets.

In the Play tab, pick a tempo (laya) of Vilambit (slow, 50 BPM), Madhya (medium, 90 BPM) or Drut (fast, 160 BPM), and use the Sa pitch dropdown to shift the reference key up or down to match a singer's range. Toggle Tanpura drone on for a sustained background tone and Taal beat to hear an audible click on each beat while the notation plays.

Yes. In the Play tab, set Loop to the specific line number instead of 'Off' or 'Whole piece' — playback then repeats only that line continuously, which is useful for students working through one difficult ang or phrase before moving to the next.

Turning on 'Show key/legend on the sheet' in the Details panel prints a small reference key explaining the komal (underline), tivra (overline) and octave-dot notation marks directly on the PDF, PNG or printed page — handy for students who are new to reading sargam notation.

Save the sheet with 'Save online' to get a short, always-latest link, then set your teacher name and watermark text in the Credit panel before sharing so students know it's your official version. Students who open the link can use the Play tab's tempo, Sa pitch, taal click and loop-by-line controls to practice at their own pace without needing an account.

Yes. The Notation System dropdown in the Setup tab switches the whole sheet between Sargam (Sa Re Ga Ma), Solfège (Do Re Mi), Letter (C D E) and Numbered (1 2 3, the jianpu system) — the underlying degree, accidental and octave data stays identical, only how it's drawn changes. The Swara Script dropdown (Roman, Gurmukhi, Devanagari) only applies when Notation System is set to Sargam, since the other three systems always render in Latin characters.

Select a beat, then tap 'Split beat (2 notes)' in the Notes panel — a Note 1 / Note 2 tab appears above the swara keypad so you can set a different degree, accidental and octave for each half of that one beat. Tap 'Single note' whenever you want to merge it back down to one note.

Rest clears the beat to silence — nothing sounds and nothing is drawn there. Sustain instead draws a dash and holds the previous swara's pitch through that beat during playback, which is how you notate a note carrying over rather than a new note being struck.

Use '+ Add line' in the Notes panel to append another row of beats matching the current taal's length, or '− Remove line' to drop the last one. Select any beat in a line and type into the Line field to label it — teachers commonly use Sthai, Antara, Mukhda or a verse number so students can see which section they're on.

«Guardar en línea», en la pestaña Descargar, publica un enlace siempre actualizado: edita la hoja y vuelve a guardar, y ese mismo enlace muestra los cambios, lo ideal para un enlace que ya has repartido a tus alumnos. «Crear enlace para compartir», en cambio, codifica una instantánea puntual de la hoja directamente en la URL, sin almacenamiento en el servidor, de modo que nunca cambia aunque edites la hoja más adelante. El código de inserción, que aparece al guardar en línea, es un fragmento iframe para pegar la hoja en vivo en una entrada de blog o en la web de una clase.

These are free-text fields printed on the sheet's header — Raag names the raag or scale, Composer credits who wrote the piece, and Laya (in Details) is a text label like 'Vilambit' or 'Madhya' describing the intended tempo in words. This is separate from the Play tab's Tempo buttons, which set the actual playback speed in BPM rather than just labeling the printed sheet.

Yes. Both the landing screen and the Templates tab list ready-made compositions — filtered to your notation tradition when you arrive from a specific style's page — and tapping one loads its taal, lyrics and swaras straight into the editor so you can edit rather than start from an empty grid. Tap 'Start blank' instead to build a sheet from scratch.

In the Notes tab, tap 'Reset sheet' — it doesn't wipe the composition immediately; the button switches to a 'Confirm reset' state (with a Cancel option alongside it) so you have to tap it a second time to actually clear the sheet. Resetting wipes every line, beat, swara and lyric back to blank, but keeps your selected taal, notation system, swara/lyric scripts and teacher-credit details untouched, so you can start a fresh composition on the same setup.

The Vibhags field must add up to exactly the total number of Matras you set — for example '4,4' only works for an 8-matra taal — otherwise the Apply button stays disabled with an error message until the numbers match. Once the pattern is valid, a marker dropdown appears for each vibhag's starting beat (defaulting to X for the first, then 2, 3, 4…) so you can pick any symbol from X, 2-7 or 0 instead of the auto-numbered default, matching how your own tradition marks sam, tali and khali.
