The opposite approach would be to set up a "score" containing just a 
single note (or other symbol) and remove all lines, bars, and clef, so 
that only the note itself remains visible. Example:

8<--------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}

\makeatletter
\def\typenote#1{%
  \vbox{%
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    \smallmusicsize
    \nostartrule
    \setlines10
    \setclefsymbol1\empty
    \staffbotmarg-2\Internote
    \stafftopmarg0pt
    \afterruleskip0pt
    \startextract
      \znotes#1\en
      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    \zendextract}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
First line of paragraph \\
Abc \typenote{\qa g}
def \typenote{\ca g}\kern7pt
ghi \typenote{\ds}
jkl \typenote{\qp}
mno\\
Last line of paragraph
\end{document}
8<--------------------------------------------------------------------

That's definitely not perfect, but at least it relieves you of 
constructing a note from its graphical elements (head, stem, flag) 
yourself.

Best regards,
