- Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
- Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote] = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
- Notes in { } = “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
- A Note in ( ) = “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
- A “~” between two Notes = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.

Yes, A dot (.) before a note means that the note is in Mandra Saptak, or Udara Saptak. Similarly, an apostrophe (‘) after a note means that the note is in Taar Saptak, or Tara Saptak and a note with neither a dot before it in such a case, nor an apostrophe after it in such a case, means the note is in Madhya Saptak, or Mudara Saptak, and that note neither needs to be played softer on your flute, nor needs to be played sharper in your flute, you can just play the note normally

How to play the .p.p.p.p or any notation of same types?
Sayan
use your tongue to block the lips for a moment while continuing the blow. this will cause a break and you will get as many of the same note at the same time. or you may use another technique where momentary touch may be done on the lower note which also breaks the note

A dot (.) before a note means that the note has to be played at one octave lower than normal. In other words, you have to blow a little softer into your flute than normal to play a lower octave. Similarly, an apostrophe (‘) after a note means that the note has to be played at one octave higher, which you can achieve by blowing a little sharper into your flute.
