Well, this isn't a LaTeX environment, but it is a set of TeX macros
for doing music typesetting.  The origin and history of these macros
is rather murkey (it seems they were part of a Masters project in
Germany).  In anycase, you can get MuTeX (or mtex) from
   cs.ubc.ca  (128.189.97.5)   /MuTeX      (*slow*)
   stolaf.edu (130.71.128.1)   /TeX/MuTeX

MuTeX is basically the same as the orginal mtex package.  The mtex
package only has a short document (in german) explaining its use.  The
MuTeX package includes a lengthly LaTeX document (in english) along
with information on how to fix several bugs.  While some parts of the
system are rather primitive, the two included demos are fantastic
(even more so when you keep in mind that they came from TeX).
