Hi Reenen Laurie I don't think that the embedding - is the problem -The viewtemplate for Lilypond code should just show the generated png inline - from an relative URL to the same directory of the html/TW. In the edittemplate for tiddlers tagged Lilypond - you should see the code - which will be sent to lilypond.exe by some macro - to produce a new png - and overwrite the existing/previous one. I believe that writing the macro is the real challenge. I'm no programmer so I can't tell how difficult that would be - but I think that the fact that it involves using a local program (Lilypond) from the browser - might conflict with some security issues with browsers....... And you would have to have some kind of php-script on the serverside that would allow it to write pngs to the directory as well...
I hope that there are some programmers who can see the potential in writing this kind of macro to extend TiddlyWikis funtionality. I would be one of the first to use it - that's for sure... Untill then I will continue to upload pictures to my ftp - and <<iframe>> or <<minibrowse>> them in TW - Which is also great!! But I like to use TW as a full program - and the ability to edit music directly in TW - would really be something - and put it in front of some of the other (static) serverside Wikis...
