Opusmodus: Common Lisp Music Composition System
ABC is the other major player in the space besides MusicXML and Lilypond.
The Mutopia project [1] is magnificent but largely abandoned in favor of MuseScore [2] which uses MusicXML. The amount of music available there is staggering but locked in to their backend.
Unfortunately automated translation is difficult because Lilypond is very oriented towards specifics on how the notation is rendered.
And, if you are interested in general archives of music, IMSLP [3] (Internet Music Score Library Project) has to be mentioned as well, but mostly contains scans of existing engraved music.

International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP)
> working on producing
The Mutopia project is dormant, and under current maintainership (or lack thereof) submitting contributions is hit-or-miss[0].
> latex versions of music
Lilypond isn't TeX, but lilypond-book, a companion utility that can process lilypond files, can be integrated into LaTeX, DocBook, Texinfo, and HTML workflows[1].

...it really helped me understand why "$SCORE = ( $MELODY + $BASS )" was sometimes superior to viewing sheet music as a "wall of notes and chords". You have to "play the wall" as it comes at you, but mentally, thinking of it as "melody goes la la la, bass goes boom bang boom" helps to provide context to what are the roles of the two notes you're playing.

is it legal to use classical music (mozart, bach, etc.) if played by me?
This is something you do have to watch for: just because the composition is public domain, doesn't mean the exact score you found is. Another really good source for public domain sheet music is Mutopia project. Not all of it is public domain, but a lot of it is, and with Mutopia project all the scores are in a consistent format and include midi files, which is a huge plus. The site hasn't been updated for years but it has a pretty big collection.

Totally not me…
A lot of classical music is public domain nowadays. Check out IMSLP (as indicated by /u/Gloomy_Plankton6631) for loads of classical music in all possible arrangements, as well as Mutopia Project.

Ask HN: Where can I find public domain score sheets for free?
Check license on individual pieces...
https://www.mutopiaproject.org/ says "all in the Public Domain or under Creative Commons licenses"
https://musopen.org/ says "free, without copyright restrictions"

I typeset and recorded Alkan's "Salut, cendre du pauvre!", Op. 45.
I typeset and recorded Alkan's Op. 45 Salut, cendre du pauvre! The video shows the original source (from IMSLP), my re-setting of it, and finally an experimental typesetting that breaks some typesetting conventions but tries to makes some quality of life changes that I happen to like. The piece was quite tricky for me (I am no Alkan!), so if you have any advice for playing, typesetting, or recording, that would be greatly appreciated (I always think my recordings sound "reedy" as opposed to rich, and I am not really sure why). I'm pretty pleased with the fidelity of my resetting, though I can't figure out how to get lilypond to do slanted dynamic hairpins which Alkan makes great use of here. You can get the source on IMSLP here. My typesetting here. My alternative typesetting here. I typeset this using my own lilypond library you can get here. The reset version is as accurate as I can make it, the only deliberate difference between that and the source is my use of modern pedal notation. The alternate version makes the following additional changes: 1) The treble staff has extra ledger lines to avoid repeated clef changes. 2) I change key signature to avoid accidental overload at various points. 3) Both hands are placed in the same stave where it is easier (for me) to read. 4) I added ottava markings where appropriate. Both of my typesettings run to 6 pages (half of the source's 12) although the final page of the alternate version gets pretty cramped. If you want to make further changes, the source code is included in the above repo. I also opened a pull request to the mutopia project here.

Velato: A programming language where source code must be a valid MIDI music file
Interesting!
Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner:

And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest.

TidalCycles doesn't. And you can try it online without installing anything.

Try evaluating `d1 $ s "bd sn"` to get a bass drum-snare drum rhythm going. Then `d1 $ s "bd*2 sn"` to kick the bass drum twice each loop instead of once. It can be extremely intuitive.

Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns
An easy way to experiment with this is via Strudel[1], a JS port that plays in-browser (annoyingly, works better with Chrome than Safari.)

I made a command-line tool to assist me with writing polyrhythmic drum parts
It's recently gotten a great deal easier to play with thanks to Strudel, a JS variant.

One interesting feature of Tidalcycles is Euclidean Sequences, where various 'natural' ways of distributing X notes over Y durations are easily expressed:
