Yeah it's possible. And I think you can figure out how to do it yourself by looking at how illustro is coded.
It really is meant to make users understand how to create his/her own skins, so this would be a great skin to start with! (and we don't really do skin requests)
So. To get you started.
The first thing you should understand is how a notes-skin is usually constructed.
1. We got an external file that hold the notes.
This usually have some sort of <notes> </notes> tags making it easy to use WebParser to read it.
2. We got a measure that uses webparser that reads the file.
3. We got meters that displays it.
That is the three basic things about a notes-skin. I would recommend you to download some skin or suit that has a notes-skin and tear that one apart. Much easier to understand what to do then.
Then there is this

How to use webparser on a local file.
Now. If you got any coding question, we will be glad to help out. :)
Also, on a way more cool but more advanced way to to it is like this:

But start with the webparser. ;)
