Hi,
I am working on a GUI for LilyPond and am looking for your feedback on the desirability or usefulness --if any-- for MediaWiki.
My desire is to have LilyPond accessible to everyone by presenting a basic GUI initially so as to provide a more gentle introduction than text to most people, simultaneously offering an easy way to learn the LilyPond language and handhold them while they make the switch.
Although I started three years ago it is still mostly a play thing --I do this just for fun and it has seen a few rewrites-- so it will be a long way before it matches any of the power that LilyPond has, or even that other GUIs offer right now.
I would enjoy having more focus and actual users and so early this spring I took up the idea to create a basic web frontend alongside the main Gnome/Gtk+ GUI.
Then, by the usual blend of sheer coincidence and providence, the <score> extension landed. That has kept me wondering if what I have now could [almost] be useful for MediaWiki or WikiPedia...or what would need to be done to make it so.
Any feedback is much appreciated! Please have a look at

or go straight to the LilyPond Schikkers Demo

Thankyou Greetings, Jan
PS: as an aside, I read some complaints about Lily's SVG output on this list; would you please send a bug report on that, or anything else that you find amiss to bug-lilypond@gnu.org?

Hi, Thanks for reaching out to us.
I just tried the demo, and it looks pretty awesome. I definitely think integrating this into Score somehow would be very desirable.
