Is this on the right track:
==================================
\input musixtex
\twelverm
\def\quart{{\musixchar7}\kern5.8pt\vrule height8pt depth0pt width.4pt}
Hello~\quart~\quart~goodbye
\bye
==================================
The musix symbols are combinations of font characters from musix20 and
rules. To stick these symbols in a text document you have to figure out how
to build them up. It might be possible to use the musixtex macros (e.g.,
\qu} somehow, but they rely on lots of stuff you don't need, so it's
probably easier to make them from scratch. If the above example is on the
right track, then perhaps you can work out how to include dots, open
noteheads, and bar lines. To see what number goes with which character,
there is a tex file which on my system is named allfnt10.tex. I just run it
by "tex386 allfnt10", it prompts for the name of the font (musix20), and
then it produces a dvi file for a table relating character numbers to font
characters. If you need such a file and can't find it, send me a private
email.
