I recently posted a query about alternatives to MuTeX.
 
Many people pointed me at MusicTeX, by Daniel Taupin, which handles
multiple staves.  You can get musictex by ftp from rsovax.circe.fr
[130.84.128.100].  When I ftp'd it on 17 April, some files were dated in
March 1991, so I guess it is still under development.  Since I had
trouble connecting to the French site, I put a copy of what I got on
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23], in pub/tex/musictex.tar.Z.
 
Other people pointed me at an article in the March Communications of the
ACM, on a music typesetting system called Lime.  I haven't read the
article yet.
 
Thanks to everyone who responded.  (It's semi-amazing how much more mail
I got about this than I do about web2c! (For those of you who don't know
what web2c is, never mind, it doesn't matter.))
