I am interested, too.
Perhaps you guys know Grace (http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/). It's not command line and it has its own GUI but it's perfectly suitable for composing (via programming, either in scheme or its own built-in language SAL) and writing compositions to MIDI, Lilypond (needs fomus library), CSound etc. If you really need to use CLI, you can build it from sources and you get a cm binary that can be run as Emacs inferior process.
But I am sure you knew all that already...
Cheers!

around, which is the normal state of affairs here. :)
Let me know if you have an example up. I tried looking in the tarball
but didn't really find anything.
