There are type 1 ("Postscript") versions of the CM fonts if you want.
And there is a commercial Adobe music font (Sonata) in type 1 format, but
there aren't AFAIK type 1 versions of the musixtex fonts. I once
did some work on this with Richard Kinch's help, but the technology to
do it automatically from the Metafont sources isn't yet available; perhaps
some day. You might want to try dvipdfm as an alternative way of
producing pdf, but the results will not be significantly better than
with pdftex.
