I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet...I'm looking for a sheet music and/or a guitar tablature API.

A:
Sheet music & tablature aren't exactly standardized, most digitized sheet music I've seen has been either image files or Postscript with special fonts, and tab is just the more random ASCII art equivalent.
Standard MIDI (SMF) is probably your best bet, and most software that deals with those formats can deal with it.
- C: libsmf
- Java: javax.sound.midi
- Perl: lots (midi->tab conversion too)
- MIDI-XML: also maybe of interest
(the old perl modules are the main reason i still keep perl around, so much fun to be had)
