Those who still use Windows and Word, MagicScore, one
of the decent closed-
source notation programs now has a plugin for editing and embedding score into
word documents. (What gets embedded in the doc are pictures--this is not
really full OLE/embedding so results can be opened in OpenOffice.)
For those who don't... LilyPond (one of *the* best notation typesetting
systems) can be used with LaTeX since ages:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/LaTeX
And it can also be used in OpenOffice via OOoLilyPond
http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/
http://www.musicnotationformsword.com/
You can get it for $49 for a short time if one dare spend money.
You can get the above mentioned for $0 if you don't dare use
closed-source Microsoft-engaged software :)
For the rest of us: OpenOffice and AbiWord have plugin
APIs as well. Anyone,
mscore, nted, want to do something like this? Who knows? Linux folks might
even purchase such an add-on to their favorite GPL product!
And btw, mscore, nted,
Rosegarden can export to LilyPond...
