<P> Each of the other five notes, Re, Ga, Ma, Dha and Ni, can take a' regular' (shuddha) pitch, which is equivalent to its pitch in a standard major scale (thus, shuddha Re, the second degree of the scale, is a whole - step higher than Sa), or an altered pitch, either a half - step above or half - step below the shuddha pitch . Re, Ga, Dha and Ni all have altered partners that are a half - step lower (Komal - "flat") (thus, komal Re is a half - step higher than Sa). </P> <P> Ma has an altered partner that is a half - step higher (teevra - "sharp") (thus, tivra Ma is an augmented fourth above Sa). Re, Ga, Ma, Dha and Ni are called vikrut swar (' movable notes'). In the written system of Indian notation devised by Ravi Shankar, the pitches are represented by Western letters . Capital letters are used for the achala swar, and for the higher variety of all the vikrut swar . Lowercase letters are used for the lower variety of the vikrut swar . </P> <P> Other systems exist for non-twelve - tone equal temperament and non-Western music, such as the Indian Swaralipi . </P> <P> Znamenny Chant is a singing tradition used in the Russian Orthodox Church which uses a "hook and banner" notation . Znamenny Chant is unison, melismatic liturgical singing that has its own specific notation, called the stolp notation . The symbols used in the stolp notation are called kryuki (Russian: крюки,' hooks') or znamena (Russian: знамёна,' signs'). Often the names of the signs are used to refer to the stolp notation . Znamenny melodies are part of a system, consisting of Eight Modes (intonation structures; called glasy); the melodies are characterized by fluency and well - balancedness. (Kholopov 2003, 192) There exist several types of Znamenny Chant: the so - called Stolpovoy, Malyj (Little) and Bolshoy (Great) Znamenny Chant . Ruthenian Chant (Prostopinije) is sometimes considered a sub-division of the Znamenny Chant tradition, with the Muscovite Chant (Znamenny Chant proper) being the second branch of the same musical continuum . </P>
