Re: APIs, hooks, servers and realtime integration

2012-02-29 Thread Steve Bennett
I also stumbled upon this: www.weblily.net

A couple of days ago, this was a functional online lilypond creation and
editing tool. But, bizarrely enough, today it seems to have been replaced
with some broken CMS with lots of irrelevant portlets (it showed me a loan
calculator, calendar, message board etc when I logged in). And if you're
not logged in, you get nothing at all. Really strange.

 Ah, sounds promising. But the site is down - bad gateway. Is the code
 available anywhere?

APIs, hooks, servers and realtime integration

2012-02-28 Thread Steve Bennett
Hi all,
  I'm exploring possibilities for a web-based music creation and
manipulation tool, and considering LilyPond for rendering the music (is
there an alternative? :)). From what I can see in the documentation, it's
designed very much as a command line tool, intended to be driven directly
by users. Whereas I'm looking for a way to embed it in a web application,
and not pay the overhead of loading libraries, parsing and processing
entire scores when only small bits change, etc.

A search of the archives shows that this question comes up periodically in
various forms (a LilyPond server? an API? incremental rendering?), going
back to 2005 - but I haven't stumbled on anything much beyond proof of
concept. There's Wikitex, but MediaWiki isn't much help to me, and the
Wikitex repository and mailing lists (as linked from http://wikitex.org/) seem
to be offline.

The application will probably be based in Django, so Python hooks would be
especially useful. I'd be interested in ways of embedding LilyPond, or
running a server that can maintain a bit of state to provide quick response.

Any suggestions? Thoughts? Places to look? Other people to ask? :)

Thanks in advance,
Steve
