Hi there, I am new to lilypond. I am wondering if there exists an interface like mathtex, for lilypond. For those who don't know mathtex, it's a way of embedding rendered TeX images directly and easily in an HTML page (and therefore in wikis, in blogs etc), through a relatively simple CGI service. So, in your web page, you can just type your formula like this
<img src="http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/mathtex.cgi?x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}";> and voila, the image is rendered and embedded. (You would of course prefer to build the service locally and use that, instead of using a publicly available service, but that's the idea.) I think it's quite clever and neat. You can read the whole story here http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/source_mathtex.html My understanding is that it should not be difficult to implement something like this for lilypond. Perhaps through lilypond-book and latex, or maybe just via lilypond directly. I am keen to develop this (or at least give it a try), but first I would like to make sure that I wouldn't be reinventing the wheel. Any other input from you guys would also be welcome, of course. Thank you, and anyway thanks for this superlative tool.
