I was also looking for similar editors for indian music notation for quite
some and just couple of days back came across this
http://gpalem.web.officelive.com/CarMusTy.html

Looks promising, but seems the work in still going on. May be you can take a
look at it and see if it comes close. Here is what it says on that site:

CarMusTy is an all in one environment for typesetting Carnatic music Books.
It is a one stop solution to edit Carnatic music notation files, generate
MIDI files and typeset portable document format books. The advantages of
using CarMusTy for typesetting the Carnatic music, as opposed to using any
other editing application (such as Word or other music typesetting systems)
are:

   - CarMusTy allows *Phonetic
Transliteration*<http://phtranslator.sourceforge.net/>of notation and
lyrics. That is, you can enter Carnatic music notation and
   lyrics once in phonetic english and let CarMuty transliterate the content
   into multiple languages, such as Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Hindi etc on the
   fly.
   - CarMusTy is compatible with
*CFugue*<http://gpalem.web.officelive.com/CFugue.html>Carnatic music
programming library, which means that the notation you enter
   in CarMusTy is actually capable of producing music!! Yes, CarMusTy can
   generate MIDI files from your song notation automatically.
   - Numerous settings are provided in the application to customize the
   appearance of song notation and lyrics. CarMusTy generates PDF Books
   customized to your preferences and the inbuilt PDF preview window helps you
   see the output on the fly.
   - Songs in CarMusTy environment support various attributes, such as Raga,
   Tala, Author, Composer etc., which will be automatically indexed by CarMusTy
   and inserted in the generated PDF book.
   - CarMusTy supports Templates to ease the work of creating new books
   based on existing documents, and it ships with numerous Default templates
   that help new beginners jump start with working on it with ease.

 Note that CarMusTy is a typesetting environment, and not a word processing
application. While word processors, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Word
etc., help you create and edit documents, typesetting applications, such as
CarMusTy, help you publish Books. The difference is the typography finesse.
For a book to have the professional level of acceptance, its typography must
meet the accepted publishing standards. CarMusTy fully supports the Metric,
US and British publishing standards and is built on top of the powerful TEX
layout system.
