Thank you.
I think I didn't explain myself very well.
My goal is to embed the lilypond source in HTML source. Something like this
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
This is my new song: <img
src="localorpublic/cgi-bin/lilypondmagic.cgi?\relative c { \clef bass
c d e c }">
</body>
</html>
My understanding from
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/HTML#HTML
is that lilypond-book by itself does not work like this and it not
support this - a wrapper CGI application is required.
To prove how this can work with LaTeX (and a CGI wrapper called
mathtex), load this into your browser.
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
This is my new theorem: <img
src="http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/mathtex.cgi?\sqrt{x^2}=x";>
</body>
</html>

This is slightly off-topic, but for everyone's benefit, this is what I
know about the MediaWiki situation.
An unsecure extension is available here
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LilyPond
This works fine for private (intranet) wikis and for public wikis that
are not notable enough to be subject to DoS attacks.
For bigger, public wikis (notably Wikipedia), someone has implemented
a secure, generic framework that renders music and other stuff
http://wikisophia.org/wiki/Wikitex
http://modtex.org
My understanding is that development is almost done, but the project
is currently on a hiatus.
Thanks
