Frequently asked questions
- How do I write Hindustani classical notation online?
- Pick a taal (Teentaal, Ektaal, Jhaptaal…), tap each matra and set the swara with komal/tivra and the octave, then type the lyric under each beat. Vibhag dividers and sam/tali/khali markers appear automatically.
- Does it support komal, tivra and saptak (octave) marks?
- Yes. Komal shows as an underline, tivra Ma as an overline, and the lower/upper octaves as a dot below/above the swara — the standard Bhatkhande conventions, rendered correctly in the download.
- Are there raag templates?
- Yes — load the aaroh and avroh of common raags (Yaman, Bhairav, Bhairavi, Bhupali, Malkauns, Kafi, Khamaj, Desh and more) as a verified starting point, then write your composition below.
- What formats can I download?
- Export a print-ready PDF, a PNG for quick sharing, or an editable Excel grid you can keep working in. Everything runs in your browser and is free.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
