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.)
http://www.musicnotationformsword.com/
You can get it for $49 for a short time if one dare spend money.
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!

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/

You can get the above mentioned for $0 if you don't dare use
closed-source Microsoft-engaged software :)

And btw, mscore, nted,
Rosegarden can export to LilyPond...

And emacs has a Lilypond mode so you can edit, compile and view (with
xpdf) right in the emacs environment.

And ConTeXt, a superior but less-known tex distribution, can do it even without
lilypond-book and all those strange workarounds. Just load the lilypond module in ConTeXt
and write lilypond notation directly into you tex document.

Yes, lot's of great stuff out there.
What makes embedding (of some sort) attractive is formatted documents. LaTex
and other *Tex will do this. Emacs is not designed for this.
If one likes to manually insert TeX commands using a text editor (such as
emacs), why not manually insert LilyPond entities and markup as well? If one
wishes to work in a previewed mode, Frescobaldi (and Lied) can do Lilypond
nicely. Oolilypond let's one do such very nicely from openoffice. However,
this is more programming than scoring. More oriented towards singe-stave,
exercises and such and full composition/notation.
If one wants to work with a fully formatted document and edit score in a
normal MIDI/graphical manner as well, one can cut and paste images from nted
or mscore into openoffice quite nicely. The one thing this closed-
source/microsoft thing gives one is integration. The big bullies as M$soft
spent millions on research showing that folk will fork up dough for such
convenience. I am not promoting this, just informing and hoping to spark a few
ideas :-)
