Maqam Selection

The maqam selector is a two-part dropdown:

1. Maqam name: searchable list of all maqamat available in the selected tuning system.
2. Variant / Transposition: when a maqam has multiple transpositions, a second dropdown appears. Each entry is labeled with the tonic’s PAO name, IPN reference, and solfège, for example nawā / G3 / Sol3 (qarār) for the base position, or dūgāh / D3 / Re3 for a transposition.

What Happens on Selection

When a maqam is selected:

• The slider bank snaps to the maqam’s interval pattern.
• Degree highlights (gold) mark which sliders correspond to maqam degrees.
• Slider labels update to show context-aware IPN names (e.g. “F#” in Hijaz vs “Gb” in Saba).
• The range scroller centers on the maqam’s octave.

If a matching unmodified preset exists in the Preset Bar, it is automatically activated.
