That sounds to me like a lot of work - per piece of music!

If you're going to do that (and I don't know carnatic so I don't know
whether this could work) couldn't you create a "carnatic.ly" and a
carnatic "font" so you can enter your notes as normal. Then just
suppress the staff so the "notes" print as notes, with the lyrics attached.
