doc\generic\musixtex is the _proper_ (for some value of ...) place in
the TDS (tex directory structure) for code involved in the (re-)
generation of documentation.

so it's no surprise that the source files for the package are there.

however, are they really never used in running musixtex in the ordinary
course of events (i've never used either, but it's an age since i used
musixtex).  if they are common things in run-of-the mill use of
musixtex, they should be in tex/generic/musixtex/ along with
musixtex.tex itself.  (tex live doesn't have it there ... at least not
my tl'13 ... i really must update!)

i presume no-one has told the distribution generators, if that's the
case; they won't necessarily guess where a file with such a left-field
name as curly.tex should go.  afaik, there's no-one in the distribution
teams is a musixtex user.
