The outline, Ma–Sa emphasis and 9 PM–midnight window follow Tanarang. Repeated and curved note movements are part of the outline, not optional decoration on a straight scale. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. Phrase treatment, not the note list alone, identifies a raag. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
