This may not be a solution to your problem, but maybe you can use the
ideas. I often use MusiXTeX inside LaTeX, not only single lines but
sometimes an entire piece, and this is how:
----
% This example shows a two-page compilation of small pieces,
% in which fonts are redefined and bar numbering suppressed
% by LaTeX-like commands, and \oddsidemargin is used to
% position the score.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{musixtex,mtxdoc}
\pagestyle{empty}
\renewcommand{\BIGfont}{\medtype\bf}
\renewcommand{\Bigfont}{\normtype\bf}
\renewcommand{\writebarno}{\rule{0pt}{12pt}}
\oddsidemargin -13mm
\begin{document}

\pagebreak

\input{ovos.ex} \bigskip
\input{lammetji.ex} \bigskip

% The mtxdoc.sty file is provided in the M-Tx package
% available on ftp.gmd.de and elsewhere
----
For one-line extracts I have found the following environment
(provided in mtxdoc.sty) useful:
\newenvironment{mus}{\begin{minipage}{260mm}\begin{music}%
\let\atnextbar\relax\nobarnumbers}%
{\end{music}\assignlyrics1{}\assignlyrics2{}\end{minipage}}
You can remove the \assignlyrics instructions if you do not
use musixlyr. They are there to stop musixlyr from trying
to put lyrics into instrumental excerpts that follow vocal
ones.
