A music printing package for TeX has been developped at
the Univ. of Bonn (West Germany) as a master thesis.

It uses own fonts (made by METAFONT, of course) and the
results are really nice. It was nearly finished, when Eric Foxley's
article appeared in CACM. 

I got a preliminary version, where the input language processor
isn't included. The work should be done by now.
I'll contact Bonn and will report here.
