Sanumber > 0

MIDI number of the reference Sa.

Examples

Convert a single midi number:

>>> librosa.midi_to_svara_h(65, Sa=60)
'm'

The first three svara with Sa at midi number 60:

>>> librosa.midi_to_svara_h([60, 61, 62], Sa=60)
array(['S', 'r', 'R'], dtype='<U1')

With Sa=67, midi 60-62 are in the octave below:

>>> librosa.midi_to_svara_h([60, 61, 62], Sa=67)
array(['ṃ', 'Ṃ', 'P̣'], dtype='<U2')

Or without unicode decoration:

>>> librosa.midi_to_svara_h([60, 61, 62], Sa=67, unicode=False)
array(['m,', 'M,', 'P,'], dtype='<U2')

Or going up an octave, with Sa=60, and using unabbreviated notes

>>> librosa.midi_to_svara_h([72, 73, 74], Sa=60, abbr=False)
array(['Ṡa', 'ṙe', 'Ṙe'], dtype='<U3')
