I've experimented with this a bit on WikiPedia directly, but it seemed to
me to be a limited set of LilyPond functionality, but I didn't dig much
farther than that.

You can see this extension "in action" here, on the page for Beethoven's
5th:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5_(Beethoven)

And of course, click "Edit" to view the WikiMedia source code.

You're incorrect in saying that this requires Lilypond on the Users
machine.  It does require LilyPond on the serving machine(s), but not on
the desktop machines of the editors.

I was thinking that editing and adding proper scores to many WikiPedia
pages might be a good way to get some more momentum around the LilyPond
syntax as an open score format.   Any WikiPedia article on a popular piece
could benefit by using this extension, and many pages will include a crude
PNG file of the score instead of using the Score extension.

(For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jana_Gana_Mana)

And many pages could benefit by having a simple score attached. (i.e.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner and many, many
similar pages)
