I'm working on using lilypond to create interactive sheet music -- the 
computer makes up a few bars, displays them, then listens to a 
musician(s) playing the music, and creates new music based on it.  I'll 
probably be making a public release in a week and a half, but I could 
send my current stuff to you if you're interested.  I'm using OSC to 
send messages to a perl script, which translates the numbers into 
lilypond code and sends it to a lilypond server.

This wouldn't be useful for simply entering existing music, though.  
I'd look into other people's suggestions for that.
