Raga Notepad
A full editor for Bhatkhande notation — the standard way Hindustani music is written down — with swaras, octaves, ornaments (including kan, meend, gamak, and andolan), and complete taal structures. Every detail of the raga and taal system.
A drut gat in Raga Yaman, set to Teentaal at 170 BPM
Compose a phrase and generate a tihai from it — timed to resolve exactly on sam.
Kan, meend, gamak, and andolan — notated precisely where they belong, the way you'd write them by hand.
The audio engine renders ornaments and meend — glides, graces, and oscillations, not just the notes.

Shape a glide's path with touch swaras — set where it arrives at each pitch and how long it lingers, then hear it back exactly as drawn.
Mark every line as what it is — and keep taans, antaras, and your own custom types organized within each section.
Pin recordings to a composition, a section, or a single line — reference audio sits right beside the notation it belongs to.
