I would be interested in such a product as well but would prefer a
(La)TeX package.

I have a document by John Renner (adobe!renner@decwrl.dec.com) called
"TeXtyl: a line-drawing interface for TeX" that mentions music typesetting.
In the introduction is the statement "Advanced features of TeXtyl are for
MusiCopy, the music-typesetting project at the Ohio State University[7],
namely typesetting ties, slurs, and beams."  The [7] references

	John S. Gourlay, "A Language for Music Printing." Communications of
	the ACM 29 5, (May 1986), pp. 388-401.

Hope this helps!
