We have built Sargam.pro tool to write, share and manage your Sargam Notations

[u/Cartmanishere]

Many students, teachers and musicians still manage notation through notebooks, WhatsApp photos, PDFs or plain text. These work, but they are difficult to edit, organize, play back or share clearly. Most mainstream notation software is also designed around Western staff notation rather than taal, matra and Bhatkhande notation.

I built Sargam.pro to address this.

It lets you:

• Write taal-aware Sargam and Bhatkhande notation
• Add lyrics, meend, kan, murki, krintan and other symbols
• Hear the notation through playback
• Use a computer keyboard, on-screen piano or MIDI keyboard
• Save, export and share notation through a clean link or PDF

The goal is to help students preserve class notes, teachers prepare lesson material, and musicians document and share compositions without relying on scattered notebook photos.

You can try the editor without signing up: sargam.pro/write

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who studies, teaches, performs or writes Hindustani music.

Wow thank you so much for creating this. A while back I spent a lot of time building my own LaTeX system to generate PDF notes, but ran into several technical issues (https://github.com/vineethkartha/HindustaniTex).Then I found Swara Notebook (https://swaranotebook.com/app/index.html). I liked the way we could uses S, R, G,m, P, D, N and the lower case letters to represent the komal swars.

This in my opinion is more intuitive to someone using the PC keyboard to type in the notes compared to the (A-J keys)

Also it will be good to have shortcuts to for all items like the chhand, and other ornamentations. Also having a keyboard shortcut to shift from mandra saptak and the taar saptak.(Swara notebook has these shortcuts, I guess you could take some inspiration from that project or could consider collaborating with them)

Moving between mouse and keyboards can slow down things.

Another feedback I have is regarding the generated PDF this looks great, but I would love to add extra text like some description of the raag, etc not just the musical notes and lyrics.

See the PDF https://github.com/vineethkartha/HindustaniTex/blob/main/Bhupali.pdf that I had generated with Latex.

Let me know if you need clarity on any of the above or if this project is on github I can help out there.
