In the previous tutorial we briefly saw how Roles allow you to create multiple
"runs". Let us dive deeper. To recap, we create roles with a "<Name>:" token. Most common roles are Sh and Sw for
Sahithya and Swara respectively.
\beatDuration(4)
Sw: R , G , G R S , S R S S .D .M .D , .m .D S .D , S .D S R G , M G G R S
Sh: Ev , va , ri , , , bo , , , dha , , , na , , , , , vi , , ni , , , , , ,
What if we wanted to continue? Let us do the next line of this amazing varnam:
\beatDuration(4)
Sh:
Ev , va , ri , , , bo , , , dha , , , na , , , , , vi , , ni , , , , , ,
E , , , , , la , , , , gu , , , , jey , , , , , sey , , , , vu , ra , ,
Sw:
R , G , G R S , S R S S .D .M .D, .m .D S .D , S .D S R G , - M G G R S
R G M G , M R G S R , .D S R G M D M D S. , S. D S. D M , g m g R s
Now instead of writing "all" of the Sahithyam (and Swarams) in one go, we could have broken it down and gotten the same
result:
\beatDuration(4)
Sh: Ev , va , ri , , , bo , , , dha , , , na , , , , , vi , , ni , , , , , ,
Sw: R , G , G R S , S R S S .D .M .D, .m .D S .D , S .D S R G , - M G G R S
Sh: E , , , , , la , , , , gu , , , , jey , , , , , sey , , , , vu , ra , ,
Sw: R G M G , M R G S R , .D S R G M D M D S. , S. D S. D M , g m g R s
Hmm. Any guesses what happened?
