I'm not a coder, so nothing.
I was just thinking that I may test it better if I could run it on my
computer. I see that the demo doesn't work always: for example, now I
refreshed the page and the canvas is empty (no staff).

Sure, but the thing is: why showing the text input if you cannot modify it?
It's a nice idea if the purpose of the application is teaching lilypond
syntax by interacting with a GUI. Actually, it's a great idea: I would add
a link in the website introduction once you feel that it's stable enough.
OTOH if you want to create a GUI application, I'd remove the text input (at
least, until you implement the "two-way edit").
I have a feature request that it may make this app special: note entry
using a tablature instead of a staff.
You choose the tuning and then enter numbers on each string, then the
number should be turned into the right pitch.
I guess this is not easy to implement. But it may attract users of
Tuxguitar, Guitarpro and similar.

How can I make an horizontal selection?
I think that yesterday somehow I managed to select more than a note, using
Alt or Ctrl; but then slur didn't work. Today the demo is not working, so
I'm stuck... Did I say that I'd like to install it on my PC? :-)
