Frequently asked questions

How do I write shabad kirtan notation online?
Choose a taal such as Keherwa or Dadra, tap each beat and set the swara (sargam) in Gurmukhi, then type the shabad syllable under each beat. The sheet shows the sam, tali and khali markers automatically. Download as PNG, PDF or Excel to share.
Can I write sargam in Gurmukhi for kirtan?
Yes. This page defaults to Gurmukhi sargam and Gurmukhi shabad text, with komal/tivra and octave (saptak) marks. You can switch the script or notation system at any time.
Which taals are used in Gurmat Sangeet?
Short-lined shabads commonly use Keherwa (8), Dadra (6) and Rupak (7); longer stanzas use Ektaal, Chautaal and Dhamar; Teentaal (16) is general-purpose. All are built in, with editable markers.
Is it free, and can students see who made the sheet?
It is completely free with no signup. Add your name and contact in the teacher-credit box (or a watermark) and it prints on every PNG, PDF and Excel sheet so students always know the source.

How Music Notation Maker helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.

Education

Shabad & Kirtan Teaching Sheets for Gurdwara Classes

Build a taal grid in Gurmukhi script with sam/tali/khali markers auto-drawn, then use the Sa pitch dropdown and tanpura drone in the Play tab so students can practice a shabad at home at the right pitch and tempo.

For Creators

Cross-Notation Compositions for Fusion Ensembles

Switch the Notation System between Sargam, Solfège, Letter and Numbered (jianpu) on the same underlying composition so Indian-classical and Western-trained musicians in a fusion group can each read the part in their own system.

Publishing

Printed Songbooks for Choirs & Satsang Groups

Export a batch of PDF sheets with the teacher-credit box and a watermark switched on, then bind them into a printed songbook for a community choir, school or satsang group.

Web & SEO

Live Practice Links for Remote Music Students

Use Save online to publish an always-latest link — edit and save again later and a remote student's bookmarked link updates automatically — or grab the embed code to drop the sheet straight into a class website.

Career & HR

Session-Ready Charts for Touring Accompanists

Use the custom taal builder to notate an unusual rhythm cycle a touring vocalist or tabla player needs for one specific song, then export it as a quick-reference PDF chart before the gig.

Personal Use

Family Devotional Practice at Home

A parent notates a short shabad or bhajan in the family's preferred script (Gurmukhi, Devanagari or Roman), then uses the Play tab's Sa pitch, tempo and tanpura drone so children can sing along at home between gurdwara or mandir visits without needing sheet-music expertise.
