Wow! Congrats indeed. That's really great! I really hope this gets used a lot; I'd love to see full classical music scores on Wikipedia / Wikisource (especially since these are the least likely to be copyright-encumbered)
Regarding a lilypond code generation tool:
Last time I used lilypond, I used jEdit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jEdit). It's not web-based, but it is open-source (GPLv2) and multi-platform (I run it on Windows and Linux). Its LilyPond plugin has a number of features (pdf generation; midi generation) and also a "virtual piano" to generate markup. See http://i.imgur.com/57wQ5op.png
If you're interested, here are some basic steps: - Download / install jedit from here: http://www.jedit.org/ - Select Plugins -> Plugin Manager - Select the Install Tab. Select and download the LilyPondTool - Depending on platform, you may have to configure the LilyPond binary path. Go to Plugins -> Plugin Options -> LilyPondTool -> Commands
Hope this is useful...

Thanks million times!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note seemed like an easy target for demoing the newly deployed Score extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score) on a production site, if anyone's interested. I tried looking around for a point and click lilypond or ABC code generation tool (preferably Web-based), but a lot of these tools quickly went over my head.
