I think that you will find that the math journals can deal with it.
Some may even require it.

I would recommend a small nifty utility called rubber. It is simply a front end
for the most common latex compile commands. Thus, if you want to compile your

Hi, havnt been following this thread, just jumping in.
This link has some samples of musixtex that you could perhaps use to
get yourself familiar with it.
Else use something like noteedit to edit your music and if you want,
then you can export your music to musixtex.

A nasty hack, but if there is at least one margin note per page then this
might work:
\marginpar{\rule[-2000cm]{1mm}{4000cm}Text goes here}
(I've never used LaTeX before so no clue if it will work). The idea is to
make the line next to the paragraph so long it covvers the whole page.

There is a package written by Oberdiek which does the job:
