There is already an API function to exclude items by pathname:
CSBackupSetItemExcluded()
If you called it from a command-line tool, then a shell could expand
/Users/*/Music and pass the pathnames to the tool, which would then add
them as excluded pathnames. Not quite what you asked for, but still pretty
useful, especially since I haven't seen any other Time Machine scripting
facilities.
You can also see a lot of Time Machine's configuration by looking in:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
using either the 'defaults' command or any other plist-friendly functions.
