I wasn't aware that music could be used as a dangerous weapon
either... surely it's just putting lots of pictures together?
The problem is that the solution people have proposed, LilyPond,
includes a scripting language. There's a safe mode to disable some of
the more unpleasant features, but apparently that's not safe enough:
it can still easily be DoS'd by infinite loops. Info on LilyPond's
safe mode:
There is the other solution, ABC notation. To my knowledge, it is fully
adequate for our needs, and there are no security problems.
