musicsymbols
I'm setting a document that includes some music; I'm using lilypond-book for the musical examples. However, there are some points where the author has inserted a musical symbol in the text; I'm using MusiXTeX for those bits. Notes and accidentals are easy, but I can't find a way to put in just a clef sign. For example, the author says
The G sol re ut clef . . . is made thus, <treble-clef>.
I'd like to have a treble clef right in the text where it says <treble-clef>.
I have to experience in this type of music. But it seems that you want some fancy align/verbantim stuff to typeset it.
Ideally a new package needs to be designed for this.
I seems that ConTeXt with Auctex and table editing mode can greatly simplify such typesetting for you.

The bend right option is quite useful for this kind of thing:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\newcommand*\slur[1]{%
\tikz[baseline=0]{
\node[anchor=base,inner sep=0,outer sep=0] (A) {#1};
\path[-] (A.south west) + (\pgflinewidth,0) edge [bend right=20] ($(A.south east)-(\pgflinewidth,0)$);
}%
}
\begin{document}
Hello world, how \slur{are you}?
\end{document}

Found my own answer after help from Seamus:
That is, of course, after including
\usepackage{musixtex}in the header.
