Features
Everything You Need for Kirtan Notations
Powerful tools for creating, practising, and sharing Kirtan compositions in the standardized Bhatkhande notation system.
Bhatkhande Notation Editor
Write notation the way it is taught — a taal-aware grid with vibhag markers, kan (grace) notes, octave dots, and meend, in the standard Bhatkhande format.
- Sections (sthayi, antara, …) with per-section taal, raag, and tempo
- Undo/redo, import, and a built-in notation guide
- Works with a dedicated on-screen keyboard on mobile
Playback & Practice
Hear every note you write. Playback highlights each beat as it plays, with tabla and tanpura accompaniment that follow your taal and key.
- Piano, harmonium, and guitar voices with key highlighting
- Loop phrases, adjust tempo, and transpose to any key
- Tabla theka and tanpura drone matched to your composition
Shabad Integration
Search the complete Sri Guru Granth Sahib via BaniDB and link any shabad to your composition — verses stay alongside your notation while you write.
- First-letter Gurmukhi search, the way raagis remember shabads
- Verse-by-verse display next to the editor
- Deep links: share a shabad and its compositions together
One Notation, Every Language
Every composition renders in Punjabi, Hindi, and English — write once, and every student reads it in the language they know.
- Language switching for notation, lyrics, and the whole interface
- Authentic Bhatkhande glyphs in every script
- Transliteration handled automatically
