Seeking Music Notation Program

[David H. West]

Can anyone point me to PD or FreeWare programs to print music
using an IBM PC clone and 9-pin printer?  I'm not (yet!) looking
for bells, whistles and publication quality, just something a little 
better than handwriting.   I know there are commercial packages that do 
this very well, but I can't afford them.

If GhostScript understood 9-pin printers, I could probably hack
a first approximation to this, but it doesn't.  (Yet? Rumors?)  
On the other hand, I could do an awful lot of hand transcription in the
time it would take to hack this reasonably well.  
On the third hand, the G-clef only needs to be encoded once in
vector format, so if someone's done it...
