Although as a character encoding standard, Unicode includes characters
for many of the symbols used in musical notation, the ability to
display sheet music on screen will depend on a higher level protocol.

There seem to be a few in existence, including:

MNML - The Musical Notation Markup Language
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/mnml199906.html

SMDL - Standard Music Description Language, ISO/IEC DIS 10743:1995
(is mentioned on this page:)

(This page appears to be down...)

Music and Lyrics Markup Language (4ML).
