FRAMEWORK

Creating music in computer system through its music notations requires two primary components. The first one is the mechanisms to encode music notations of respective music genres and the other one is a framework to provide the look and feel of the music written like a published or handwritten music sheet. Popular music scorewriters like Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore can edit, render and playback music transcribed in Staff notation. Being vastly different from the Indic music system in grammar, notation symbols, tonic system and encoding style, the architecture used in the music software for western music cannot cater to the Indic music system. For this reason there is a dearth of such scorewriters for Indic music system which is rich with a variety of musical genres, each different from the others in their unique notation system and language for depicting their lyric. we propose a new framework for transcribing and rendering Indic music sheets for different genres of Indic music in computer. This framework is designed to support all major Indic notation systems and Indic language scripts and is explained using three major notation systems and language scripts throughout the paper as a case study.
