   I would like to know whether there exist any standard or de facto
   standard format for musical information and notes.

You'll gag, but there is.  Microsoft Basics have a "play" statement, that
contains an encoding of pitch and tempo.  In a program posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc, someone extended it to multiple pitches.  If you
want to find this program, send me mail and I'll grep for it.
