SwarLipi:Sheet Music to Sargam
Music
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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
GOOD TO KNOW
- Scanning works best with clear, straight photos of printed sheet music (or PDFs). Handwritten scores are not supported.
- Sheet-music scanning uses our server and is limited to a fair number of scans per day. Typed-note conversion is unlimited and works offline.
- Your scans are processed and deleted immediately — nothing is stored or shared.
- SwarLipi is free, supported by ads.
