Create solfa capability for East Indian Solfa: Sa, Ra, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni (movable). Same thing as our Western Solfege, but with these Names.
Questions: Do they have anything special for sharps and flats? Are there different symbols? (questions answered below from wikipedia)
From Wikipedia: "In the context of Indian classical music, Swara is a Sanskrit word that means a note in the octave. The seven basic swaras of the scale are named shadja, rishabh, gandhar, madhyam, pancham, dhaivat and nishad, and are shortened to Sa, Ri (Carnatic) or Re (Hindustani), Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni and written S, R, G, M, P, D, N. Collectively these notes are known as the sargam (the word is an acronym of the consonants of the first four swaras). Sargam is the Indian equivalent to solfege, a technique for the teaching of sight-singing. The tone Sa is not associated with any particular pitch. As in Western moveable-Do solfège, Sa refers to the tonic of a piece or scale rather than to any particular pitch."
