I built Sargam Notebook (https://sargam.speede.site ), an interactive music notebook for writing and playing Indian classical (Hindustani) music.
The idea was to make something like an ipynb, but for raags — where you can:
Write structured raag notes (Aroha, Avroha, taans, gat, etc.)
Notate sargam with simple text syntax
Play it back in a timed taal (e.g., Teentaal)
Visually follow the notes as they play
It’s designed for students and performers who currently juggle handwritten notebooks, PDFs, and audio recordings. I wanted something programmable, readable, and playable in one place.
You can try it instantly (no signup required):

It’s still early and rough around the edges, but fully usable. I’d especially appreciate feedback on:
Notation design (is the syntax intuitive?)
Playback UX
How this could be useful beyond Indian classical
Happy to answer any technical or music-related questions.
