I have to admit - I tried it and it's not easy to get a staff to conform
to a circle, for example. Maybe someone else can. My Inkscape skills are
weak, though I love the software.
Not sure how to wrap the entire staff in a circle, but you can easily
draw a circular staff in Inkscape:-
Draw a circle (F5) with Ctrl held down, 115 px in size;
Get outline only by Ctrl+Shift+F, click the X under Fill, and flat color
(2nd left) under Stroke paint (or click the X near bottom left of
window, and Shift-click a coler for line color);
Clone it 4 times (Alt + D);
Hit F1 and make sure the circle and all clones are selected by drawing a
selection box around the circle (the status bar will tell you if they're
all selected; you anly see the top one);
Open the Transform dialog (Shift+Ctrl+M), go Scale, width & height both
110%, and make sure 'Scale proportionally' and 'Apply to each object
separately' are both checked.
Click Apply :)
Btw, Inkscape has layers -- use them if you don't want to be constantly
dragging the wrong notes and whatnot around.
