Indeed! I've been building a digital tabla notebook for Bhatkhande notation. I've made it as a plugin for Obsidian currently. You can write any text as bols as it's just plain text.

The plugin is here: https://github.com/mrniket/palta-obsidian-plugin. If you want to see it in use, here is my notebook: https://niket.london

This is neat! Where do you type in the bols ? In Obsidian, using plain text?

Thanks :)

Yes, via code blocks. So once you install the plugin, you can type something like:

  ```palta
  taal: teental
  ---
  DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina
  DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
  TiKe Tina TiriKit Tina
  DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
  ```

and it will render it in the correct format. It uses a web component behind it, so if you wanted to use it directly to render the above, it would be:

  <palta-note taal="teental">
    DhiGe Dhina TiriKit Dhina
    DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
    TiKe Tina TiriKit Tina
    DhaGe NaDhi GeDhi NaNa
  </palta-note>

Fwiw, there's a repository with specifications for Ragas and Talas here : https://github.com/Studio-kalavati/sargam-spec/blob/master/s...

This is very cool. Thank you very much for sharing.
