Write Bhatkhande notation for your own songs
Every raag page on this site is rendered in the same Bhatkhande notation SurSadhak's editor uses — dots below a swar for the mandra (lower) octave, dots above for the taar (upper) octave. Use the in-app editor to write notes and lyrics for your own compositions, beat by beat.
How it works
- Notes and lyrics are entered per beat, aligned to your song's sections as they play.
- During playback, the current beat's notation and lyrics are shown in sync with the tabla, tanpura and harmonium.
- The same font and convention used across all 117 raag pages on this site, so what you write reads the same way as a published raag.
See every raag's aroha, avroh and pakad rendered in this notation, or read the glossary for terms like sam, matra and vadi.
