LaTex, Lyx and Csound are not Linux specific.
Concerning Latex, Latex uses/references to lilypond as one of the 
possible music writing tools

Indeed I think about using LaTex with Lilypond. the preprocessor called 
lilypond-book lets you mix LaTeX code with Lilypond code in one source 
file.
Sample usage: tsst.lytex contains this:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin[quote,fragment,staffsize=26]{lilypond}
c' d' e'
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}

I used that many years ago. I do not know if it still works. I found a 
link from 2013:
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/07/creating-songbooks-with-lilypond-and-latex/
If so it might be documented in the Manual? (I have I have not used 
LaTex since abou a decade. Actually I sometime use the much more 
comfortable Lyx http://www.lyx.org/ instead of Latex. I do not know how 
to use Lilypond seamlessly - would be necessary for large music texts. 
for smaller texts The Graphics from Lilypond-Book can be inserted.

One can embed Latex code into a Lyx document. I do not know if that 
Latex snippet above will work as insert code. If I find some time I will 
try. Indeed I plan a larger music project where this might be helpful. I 
Prefer the document processor Lyx over Latex.

I have not used  csound. But I bookmarked the link for score preparation 
for future investigation

and I found
