I know understanding how images are used is a bit of a problem - which I might have understood once, but have now forgotten. Is the information at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/other-repositories and http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/website-build any help?

Thanks, those are helpful. I'll have to remember that those build system notes are down there. I see now that LilyPond is being run on the new file and the pdf and png files do end up in:

build/Documentation/ly-examples/out-www

but for some reason those files are not being copied into

build/out-website/website/ly-examples

Where they need to be for the website.

Also, there's another issue. The scripts to create these example images (at two sizes to allow "click to enlarge") use -dpreview so only the first system of this bwv861 example makes it into the image. (sigh) So maybe trying to use this examples machinery is not helpful. (Unless we want to edit all of the examples ly files so that they only output the content that should be in the images and then drop the -dpreview.)

At this point it would probably be simplest to just inline the lilypond code for this example on the home page, like it is done in the essay. (Probably putting it in an include file to avoid duplication.) We wouldn't get "click to enlarge" that way (which was the point of using the examples mechanisms) but maybe that's not needed on the home page and/or could be a future enhancement.
