Be careful when writing macros - the blank line at the top of \macboucle
will translate to a \par in the expansion. It's also a good idea to put a
"%" to prevent spaces in \def's. There's also no need to use \makeatletter
and \makeatother unless you're accessing internal macros containing the "@"
symbol. This gives:
\def\maboucle#1#2#3{%
\xpos=0pt
\ypos=0pt
\indice=1
\loop
\raise\xpos\hbox{\zcharnote\ypos{\kern\ypos #3}}%
\advance\xpos by \deltax
\advance\ypos by \deltay
\advance\indice by 1\relax
\ifnum\indice<#2\relax
\repeat}
Your problem is the \zcharnote\ypos - \ypos is a \dimen and not a note
specification. I don't know what you're trying to do there, but the error
then occurs is in MusiXTeX because you gave \zcharnote a weird argument. If
you meant to pass a dimension then you'd say {\the\ypos} but that's still
not a valid argument for \zcharnote...
