Introduction

Maqam is a simple reference app. Select the Maqam from the list to see the notes and the ajnas. If auto-play is on, the maqam will play automatically upon selection. At any time, you can listen to the Maqam by touching the treble clef. Touch the “jins” name to jump to the Maqam corresponding to the “jins”. The sound can be muted in the settings. The numbered brackets indicate the intervals between the notes of the Maqam. To go back to the Maqam list swipe sideways on the screen.
