- Reference-specific / phrase-based
The source emphasises phrase grammar and differences from Basant. The displayed ascent/descent are examples, not a compulsory scale. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. The selected daily window follows Raagtime; it does not erase gharana differences or seasonal flexibility. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
