You named it already: MusicTeX is a TeX-macro package (plus some
fonts) to typeset music (musical scores up to nine voices).

You should be a trained TeX-user and have some knowlegde on writing
down music to get good results with MusicTeX. You can get MusicTe
- the macros, fonts, docs *and* examples - from here:

 ftp.gmd.de    music/musictex/musictex.zip

musictex.zip is stored on a lot of other servers -- BUT most of them
have out-of-date versions. There is a mailing list about Mu(sic)TeX;
to subscribe send you request to    mutex-request@stolaf.edu

PS: it may be in the FAQ, but that doesn't matter - because the next time
    it's your turn to give silly answers to good questions :-) or vice versa
