Easily doable.
Close. It's been done but with
security issues.
o_0 Dare I ask?
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.
Is there a Mediawiki extension for this notation?
