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!

Rumor. Also with coming Frescobaldi, it will be able to record input 

from a midi device and convert is to lilypond afaik.
