Array of stops defining the melodic development pathway
Represents a structured melodic development pathway (sayr) within a maqam.
Suyūr (plural of sayr) represent traditional melodic development pathways that define how a maqam unfolds in performance practice, going beyond basic ascending and descending sequences to describe characteristic melodic progressions, emphasis points, and developmental patterns. When a maqām is transposed, the platform automatically transposes its associated sayr by converting note names and adjusting jins and maqām references to their transposed equivalents.
