Much of Sjowaázh music was traditionally improvised or passed down. Sjowaázh notation works a little like unheightened neumes: it marks rhythm and rough melodic contours. The ''hañbaáj'' to be used is also indicated. Much is left to the discretion of the performer, however.

In vocal music, just the ''hañbaáj'' to be used is specified, and the rest is left to the tonal contours of the lyrics.


In modern times, modern Talman staff notation (assuming a 58edo or 87edo framework) may be used, although this is often deemed less than satisfactory for Sjowaázh music.
