My apologies for a flip and hasty answer...

Sonata is a commercial font sold by Adobe.  It wouldn't be polite 
(or legal) to give it away.  It can be purchased rather cheaply
by university types, however.  Try calling Adobe toll free at
1-800-344-8335.

There are other fonts available for the same purpose (such as the
Petrucci font that Coda packages inside Finale for the Macintosh) ,
but I'm not aware of any postscript music font that is publically
available.

Does anyone else know of any publically available font?

Once again, sorry for my outburst.
