I haven't got around to writing a HOWTO yet, but the M-Tx user's
manual is an example of what you seem to need.  It is part of the
M-Tx package which can be downloaded by following the appropriate
links on http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk
All the files I refer to should be in that package.

It operates as follows:

1. All music examples are prepared independently using PMX.
2. When the examples are all fully debugged, a script (the Unix
   version is called tex2ex.sh) is used to strip off certain
   parts that are only appropriate for stand-alone scores.
3. The LaTeX file contains \usepackage{mtxdoc} (which requires
   mtxdoc.sty).
4. The music examples are input like this
   \begin{mus}
   \input mozart.ex
   \end{mus}   
   using the mus environment defined in mtxdoc.sty.  Perhaps
   some horizontal spacing adjustments like \hskip or enclosing
   everything inside an \mbox inside \begin{center}...\end{center}
   might be needed.

If you are used to writing your own MusiXTeX directly, maybe
the hints you can pick up from these examples are enough.
