Very nice, thanks for sharing! Some feedback (I'm not a musician and know very little, so take all this completely not seriously): • The tool would be easier to understand and get started, if you pre-populated it with some example songs (like the example notebook you linked in the post here, but which AFAICT isn't reachable from the tool itself). Even better if selecting a Raag/Rāga would automatically populate with a representative song in that rāga :-) • Is it only meant to be used from mobile? From a laptop, the keyboard seems to do nothing (hitting backspace, etc). • Really love the feature when selecting a rāga will set all the svaras to those of that rāga — if the keyboard worked, this would mean one could mash random keys on the keyboard and get something that sounds somewhat nice / appropriate :-) (I can kind of do this on mobile already! But on mobile the finger tends to move less randomly…)

Thanks for the detailed feedback | example song I guess having a default page pre-populated with an example song is nice for a demo or a first-time user. But for someone who wants to write a new song, having to delete the pre-populated song could be irksome. The default keyboard shows only the shuddha or regular swaras btw. I didn't follow what you meant by "the example notebook is not reachable for the tool". You could just edit that song (https://swaranotebook.com/view/vlB9hVgb5OdKcadbhOOYyzKwvpl2/53219a9192a5-Piyarava-ab-tum https://swaranotebook.com/view/vlB9hVgb5OdKcadbhOOYyzKwvpl2/...) and save it as a new copy. | mobile The Swara keys (example: the "r/R" key) are used in twice in each octave, and because there are 3 octaves shown, there are 6 variations , which is difficult to input on a physical keyboard without having additional modifier keys to indicate the octave. For some keys (like the backspace), it would be straightforward. It sure is possible, just haven't worked out what would be ergonomic.

  Just add a menu to add some sample pieces.
