LEGEND OF NOTATIONS
The capital letters stand for tiver or sharp notes. The small letters stand for komal or flat notes. Our
first note is first black key which is Sa in Indian and C# in western.
We can fix any note as our starting note or “Sa” and corresponding attached notes on our scale will
be according to the given arrangement. If we fix our starting note first black then the arrangement of
12 notes will be as following:
S, r, R, g, G, m, M, P, d, D, n, N
First note S and just attached to S is komal r then tiver R, komal g, tiver G, komal m, tiver M, then
P, then komal d, tiver D, komal n, tiver N and S’ of next saptak which is taar.
Sa and Pa are immovable. Thus the full twelve-tone scale arrangement of notes is labeled as: S, r, R,
g, G, m, M, P, d, D, n, N, S'
So, how do you distinguish between octaves? Mandr saptak is situated in extreme left of harmonium
or keyboard and notes of mandr saptak have a sign of apostrophe on left side e.g. 'S. Middle saptak is
without any sign and taar saptak is in extreme right. Notes written in taar saptak are shown by a sign
of apostrophe on right e.g. S'.

Please keep the following diagram in front while playing songs with notations. Here red notes are
tiver/capital and green are komal/small and blue are fixed notes without saathi swar.
We will use as the fundamental note the C# which lies in middle octave. This will correspond to Sa
(first black key). So the other notes will correspond as follows in middle saptak:
S, r, R, g, G, m, M, P, d, D, n, N, S'
The underlined notes must be played at a higher speed than the other notes. That note is present to
give better effect to the song.
