MusixTeX is indeed pre-installed in MacTeX, but in the tex/generic  
area, not tex/latex. For the documentation, this makes it /usr/local/ 
texlive/2007/texmf-dist/doc/generic/musictex/.

By unhiding the Finder I assume you mean typing in Terminal

	defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True

And for reverting back to normal:

	defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles False

You don't need to do that: you can access the various texmf trees of  
a TeX distribution using the alias /Library/TeX/Root/, and the  
various documentation folders within these trees using the aliases  
inside /Library/TeX/Documentation/. For example, you can access the  
MusicTeX documentation by following in the Finder the path /Library/ 
TeX/Documentation/texmf-dist-doc/generic/musictex/.

Personally I just used once the Finder Goto Folder (Cmd-Shift-G) to  
navigate to /usr/local/, then dragged the texlive folder to the  
sidebar of a Finder window, so that it is present now in the sidebar,  
alongside Documents, Music etc. every time I open a new Finder window.
