For what I know the point about right-to-left scripts is that the 
writing isn't simply mirrored, but the glyphs in themselves remain, only 
to be arranged the other way round. Which I think might have to be 
implemented at a much more basic level... (In XeTeX this feature is 
available, so as far as text is concerned, one might take a solution or 
ideas from there.)
However this is on text and I don't know anything about music 
typesetting conventions.
