Hi Jonnan, Eric's already mentioned raphaeljs, which I'd really recommend you check out. You might also get some ideas from the way the jtab guitar tab library works - essentially a "domain specific language" for rendering guitar notation in SVG (see http://jtab.tardate.com and also http://jtab.tardate.com/jtabtwiki-help.htm for how it plugs into TW).
