Hi Steph,

You can use any text editor/app on iOS or Android to edit your LilyPond
files. That's one of the perks of using this software! :)

At least currently that's not possible IISC.
One problem is that compiling scores has high demands on processing 
power, so it may never appear on ios or android.


What's theoretically possible (but I don't know of an implementation yet 
is having a server application where you could send your .ly files to, 
that produces a PDF (or SVG) and sends that back to your device.


That's not a tip what you could do now but a more general idea what 
would be possible.

The closest I can think of to what Urs described would be something
like LilyBin (http://lilybin.com/), which allows you to connect to a
Dropbox account and load/edit ly source files and compile them, then
download either a PDF or MIDI. I don't know what the usability on iOS
is, and I would probably not recommend it for the iPhone. I would
suggest using a plain text editor that can work with Dropbox, then
compiling in LilyBin. The caveat that I've seen is that if your ly
file throws any errors, you will only see that there *is* an error,
and not what that error is. I've had it throw an error (and not
display any output) when it has used the default 2.16 compiler and I
had a 2.17 \version statement, so it is a bit sensitive there.

Maybe try LilyBin?
http://www.lilybin.com/

So write and edit your lilypond file in a text editor on your device (so you
have a copy saved locally), then copy and paste the text into the LilyBin
site.  It would then render your file and let you download a PDF.

Unfortunately it looks like the LilyBin site doesn't play nicely with
smaller screens, which may thwart this whole scheme.

Two other web front ends to keep an eye on:
http://www.tunefl.com  (only does fragments, not full pages)
http://lilypond.org/schikkers (still experimental, in development)
