Considering that many lilypond developers know python, it could be a wise choice in case we need to hack on it.

I think that it would improve the search: for example "wikipond" is funny but "lilypond-scores-in-wikipedia" work better also, there should be some SEO plugin for Wordpress > I apologize that i didn't ask for opinions first, but i have an > impression that we (LilyPond community) sometimes go on and talk > forever and not have anything done. > > I appreciate your approach! :-)
