I'm looking for a Windows library that can draw musical notes on the screen in some way. I'm going to use it to write an app in C#, but a pure Win32-based solution is good enough. Does anybody know of any such library?

You will definitely want to look into Lilypond, widely acknowledged as the best choice for musical typesetting. It's open-source and has all kinds of output formats, and is highly scriptable. It would be pretty easy to write your own C# wrapper around it. Example output:
