The material looks like standard guitar tabs you'd find on the web,
like this, from http://www.guitaretab.com/a/adam-sandler/211.html:
Package: musixtex
Description: Typeset music scores with TeX
This package contains the MusiXTeX macros, musixflex, MusiXTeX User's
Manual in LaTeX source and DVI formats, and example source MusiXTeX music
score files.
Package: musixlyr
Description: a MusiXTeX extension for handling lyrics
musixlyr is a set of TeX macros to be used with Taupin MusiXTeX
(version T.52 or later) for typesetting vocal music. Its purpose is
to compensate two drawbacks of MusiXTeX's lyrics handling:
Looks promising, but the learning curve appears to be a right-angle.
From page 2 of the manual:
If you are not familiar with TEX at all
I would recommend to find another software
package to do musical typesetting.
Setting up TEX and MusiXTEX
on your machine and mastering it
is an awesome job which gobbles up
a lot of your time and disk space.
But, once you master it...

I tried to find a _simple_ Step1-Step2-Step3 to go from a blank text
file to a finished one-liner staff, but either my googling capabilities
are inadequate, or as is typical of much Free software, the folks who
know how to do stuff never bother to write for those who don't. (Don't
get me wrong; I very much appreciate the efforts of the developers of
Free software, etc; it just sometimes gets frustrating when you're
coming in as a total newb, which I am when it comes to TeX and friends.)
Thanks, though!
