LilyPond web service

[Harmath Dénes]

Hi everybody,

I wrote a Google Wave Robot for LilyPond integration called LilyPondy  
which renders LilyPond code snippets in waves with the help of a web  
service. I think Google Wave and this robot could help spreading  
LilyPond very effectively.
However, for it to work, of course, a web service is needed which  
takes LilyPond code as its GET argument, renders it with LilyPond  
(safe or jail mode of course), and returns the result as cropped PNG  
image. (Multiple servers can be configured for load distribution.) Is  
there an official LilyPond web service somewhere online like this  
(similar to http://noteserver.org for Guido)?
If not, I strongly propose setting up a server for this purpose. I  
already implemented this HTTP service. It needs only PHP, LilyPond and  
ImageMagick installed. Could you host this service? Until Google Wave  
gets more widespread adoptance, users could benefit from it already  
with just a minimalistic form-based web interface.

Thanks in advance,
