Well, there is a small problem: The server I announced is officially for
work on neurogenetics. It's also a slow server, and I am officially at
this place only for a few more months.

That being said, I'd be happy to maintain this site as long as possible,
and I can set up a downloadable nightly database backup.

Another idea: There is a LilyPond wiki at http://afavant.elte.hu/lywiki/,
but I don't know who maintains it. It is based on MoinMoin, which is a
clone of WikiWikiWeb, like MediaWiki, so it should be easy to port the
existing pages to MediaWiki. I would try to do that if the maintainer
agrees to installing MediaWiki.

In the course of testing, we found out that --preview only shows the first
system. The PNGs without --preview are huge, as they show the whole page
(which is mostly empty if your example has only two systems). Is there
already a way to crop the generated PNGs automatically? If not, I'll try
to hack that into ps2png.

Ciao,
