Lilypond is not TeX-based nor conceptually TeX-like, despite the fact that
it uses backslashes.  Its programming interface is all based on Scheme and
works quite differently from TeX macro expansion.  If you just mean "free"
when you say TeX-like, fine, but if you want something that is
programmable the same way TeX is, then you should consider other free
software that is more closely connected to TeX.
