Re: APIs, hooks, servers and realtime integration
I also stumbled upon this: www.weblily.net A couple of days ago, this was a functional online lilypond creation and editing tool. But, bizarrely enough, today it seems to have been replaced with some broken CMS with lots of irrelevant portlets (it showed me a loan calculator, calendar, message board etc when I logged in). And if you're not logged in, you get nothing at all. Really strange.

APIs, hooks, servers and realtime integration
Hi all, I'm exploring possibilities for a web-based music creation and manipulation tool, and considering LilyPond for rendering the music (is there an alternative? :)). From what I can see in the documentation, it's designed very much as a command line tool, intended to be driven directly by users. Whereas I'm looking for a way to embed it in a web application, and not pay the overhead of loading libraries, parsing and processing entire scores when only small bits change, etc. A search of the archives shows that this question comes up periodically in various forms (a LilyPond server? an API? incremental rendering?), going back to 2005 - but I haven't stumbled on anything much beyond proof of concept. There's Wikitex, but MediaWiki isn't much help to me, and the Wikitex repository and mailing lists (as linked from http://wikitex.org/) seem to be offline. The application will probably be based in Django, so Python hooks would be especially useful. I'd be interested in ways of embedding LilyPond, or running a server that can maintain a bit of state to provide quick response. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Places to look? Other people to ask? :) Thanks in advance, Steve ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
