Library for drawing musical notes

Question

I'm looking for a Windows library that can draw musical notes on the screen in some way. I'm going to use it to write an app in C#, but a pure Win32-based solution is good enough. Does anybody know of any such library?

Edit: I'm going to update the notes in real-time, and they need not look incredibly fancy.

Answer 1

Use MusicXML. There is C++ binding.

Rosegarden can export MusicXML to PDF or PS.

Answer 2

You can try to extract relevant code from Rosegarden, although it's very Qt-specific.

Answer 3

You can try that:

It's a simple library written in C# for displaying notes. It is limited to only one stave but it supports many voices on one stave. The input format is MusicXml but you can add notes programatically too.
