Just to make sure I understand what you mean I'm giving you my
understanding of the documents you had attached to your email:
1) Carnatic Input Method_edited.pdf
   This basically is a reference how the various symbols are created and
what their meaning is.

2) Normal_view_Chinnan_chiru.pdf
   This is an example of Carnatic Music. You would like lilypond to
create something like that.

3) western and Carnatic_chinnan_chiru.pdf
   This is the same Carnatic Music as of document 2) above with the
western representation und the Carnatic Version underneath such that it
looks (to my western eyes) as if the Carnatic Music were lyrics.

4) A descriptive Chord input for Carnatic Music.pdf
   This extends document 1) above by adding chords and how they are
notated in Carnatic Music.

Is the above correct?
And if not, could you please explain further?

Kind regards,
Michael
