Not to be taken too seriously, but ...

A "simple rewrite" for MusiXTeX preprocessor used to be called MPP /
Lilypond back in 1995/96:
    http://lilypond.org/download/old/MPP/Changes.0.46
    http://lilypond.org/download/old/MPP/FAQ
    http://lilypond.org/~janneke/software/mpp/
but then they abandoned first MusiXTeX and then TeX (while retaining
the high quality of typesetting the music).
