Hi Aravind,
Unfortunately, I think nobody in the current community of developers could
mentor this project for GSoC.
If you want to pursue the project anyway, you might want to check
http://sourceforge.net/projects/carmusty/. I know almost nothing about
Carnatic music but if conversion between Carnatic and common music notation
is possible, I would try to find a suitable format for carnatic music
(maybe text based like in your example).
You might also want to get in touch with the people at CompMusic
http://compmusic.upf.edu/ Some of them are working on Carnatic music
representation.

> Hey all,
>
> I'm Aravind, an engineering student and an amateur musician. I've looked
> at the jianpu notation idea and this proposal is an inspiration from that.
> I've been learning vocals and violin in the Carnatic system (
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnatic_music).
> If you are not acquainted, the notation in this system is written as a
> series of seven notes (much like DoReMi), for example -
> http://www.shivkumar.org/music/varnams/varaveena-geetham.htm. I've taught
> myself the western notation to be able to read and write compositions, but
> I find it difficult after using the other notation for so long.
>
> So, I wish to create a plugin or integrate an option that allows
> the trans-coding of the staff notation into the swara-notation along with
> being able to write the compositions in the swara. The challenges also
> cover transposing to the required scale (or shruti) (as is already there),
> and the additive meter time signatures (called tala). The project can help
> in bringing the patrons of carnatic (and hindustani) to MuseScore as there
> hasn't been any software for this purpose.
>
> My prior experience with MuseScore is close to nothing (shamefully), but I
> have used other notation softwares like Sibelius and tablature editors like
> GP and TuxGuitar. I've done a project and working on another one using
> C++/Qt - I'm by far a web developer with PHP, python experience.
>
> I'm sorry to come in this late, should have done this earlier. Really
> interested in working for MuseScore!
>
> Thanks!
