I've never heard of AMPLE, but the general question is inspiring.
What music languages are there?  I volunteer to act as an informal
archive, if people wish to e-mail me brief descriptions of languages
they have used.  Try to include the author(s) and approximate date
of origin.  Once I've collated the data I'll post a summary.
