such macros have been written already (pstricks).  the trick would be to
develop a "glue" layer to link pstricks to musixtex

perhaps a better bet would be to go with pgf/tikz, a pair of packages
that do amazing graphics things within tex (or pdftex, ...)  itself.

(the platform independence is alluring, but i've not even tried
programming pgf or tikz, myself.)
