I'd say installing MiKTeX is like installing most other programs in
Windows, run the installer and click Next a number of times.
In the choice between small, medium or large (don't remember which 
terminology they use), the small dsitribution should be enough for
using MiKTeX but if you ever want to try LaTeX for some other document
typesetting, I'd recommend the medium size.

If you want a music format that you could parse and use for other
purposes, don't use MusixTeX. The file format for the preprocessor
PMX is much easier to parse (even though it's not perfectly designed
for parsing with lex/yacc). Even if you just want to write or auto-
generate the input files, I recommend using PMX instead of raw
MusixTeX since it takes care of many low level details.
