I am interested, too.
Perhaps you guys know Grace (http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/). It's not

command line and it has its own GUI but it's perfectly suitable for

composing (via programming, either in scheme or its own built-in language

SAL) and writing compositions to MIDI, Lilypond (needs fomus library),

CSound etc. If you really need to use CLI, you can build it from sources

and you get a cm binary that can be run as Emacs inferior process.
But I am sure you knew all that already...

Cheers!

So I realised. Unfortunately, IRC is tough to do with kids pran=

cing

around, which is the normal state of affairs here. :)
Let me know if you have an example up. I tried looking in the tarball

but didn't really find anything.
