Here's yet another approach: Insert a "real" music section inline
into your text, with all fixed elements (lines, clef, meter, ...) removed.
The strength of this method is that you can do virtually everything
you can do within a normal music staff; its drawback is that you have to
set its width explicitly. Here's a "raw" example:
8<----------------------------------------------
\input musixtex \startmuflex
\def\notesintext#1#2{% #1 = width of music insertion; #2 = music text
\vbox{\hsize#1
\setlines10\smallmusicsize \nobarnumbers \nostartrule
\staffbotmarg0pt \setclefsymbol1\empty
#2}}
One
\notesintext{2cm}{\startpiece
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0f\tqh0f\en\bar
\znotes\qa f\en\addspace\afterruleskip
\zstoppiece}
two
\bye
