SwarLipi:Sheet Music to Sargam

Learned music from a guru, but the song book is in Western staff notation? SwarLipi bridges the two worlds: it converts Western sheet music into SwarLipi — the Sa Re Ga Ma notation used across Indian music — in Bengali or Devanagari script. SCAN SHEET MUSIC Photograph a printed score, pick an image from your gallery, or open a PDF. SwarLipi reads the staff notation automatically and rewrites it as swaralipi, bar by bar, with octave dots, komal/shuddha swaras, and sustained-beat marks — the way notation is written in music class notebooks.

OR TYPE THE NOTES Found a song's letter notes online (C D E F…)? Type or paste them, choose the taal (4/4, 3/4, 6/8 and more), and convert instantly — no internet needed for typed notes.

SMART "SA" DETECTION The hardest part of converting notation is finding where Sa sits. SwarLipi analyses the whole melody — key signature, note patterns, and phrase endings — and ranks all 12 possible scales with a match score. The best Sa is pre-selected; tap any other to re-render the song instantly. Your teacher uses a different scale than the printed sheet? The swaralipi stays identical — just tap their Sa.

GUITAR-FRIENDLY Every scale choice shows the matching guitar position: which shape, and which fret Sa sits on — so you can play along immediately.

TWO SCRIPTS, ONE SYSTEM Switch between Bengali (সা ঋ র জ্ঞ গ ম ক্ষ প দ ধ ণ ন) and Hindi (सा रे ग म प ध नि with komal/tivra marks) anytime. Same swaras, your script.

SHARE AS PDF Export the finished swaralipi as a clean PDF and share it with students, teachers, or your music group in one tap.

PERFECT FOR

• Harmonium, vocal, and guitar students learning from Western songbooks
• Music teachers preparing class notation
• Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, film song, and devotional music learners
• Anyone who reads Sa Re Ga Ma more fluently than staff lines
