Abjad is the most robust tool for this, as far as I'm aware. It won't run well on windows, so consider using a Linux virtual box if you're a windows user.
https://github.com/Abjad This is a helpful guide for installation and learning: https://github.com/Abjad/intensive A not very high resolution video which goes through the ideas behind the package (you can't see the code well on screen but you can hear Trevor Baca talk about it, which is interesting and informative): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3d-msxyeDI I began learning how to use Abjad for algorithmic composition purposes this summer, until I discovered that the BACH library for Max MSP, which exports directly to lilypond and with which I am much more familiar, now has a robust internal programming language which duplicates many of the attractive features of Abjad. Trevor is on the Lilypond mailing list I think, so perhaps he will respond.
