Everything seems to work at

why has this not been implemented yet?
Well, if it's working, it has been implemented. IIRC it's Peter
Danenberg's project.
If you're asking about why we don't have it set up on
Wiki*edia.org,
this is in part because whenever I've asked about whether the
shelled-out programs have been checked for security problems [arbitrary
shell command execution and things like that] I hear nothing
encouraging (and not much at all) in response, mainly to the effect
that some new version of lilypond has a safe mode of some kind, but is
not yet supported.
It does not (as I for some reason had assumed) seem to
be part of
MediaWiki 1.4. Is this being saved for 2.0?
It's an extension, not part of MediaWiki.
