I'm close to finish a lilypond webservice that could be used on the internet or in the local network. I think that would be ideal for that as can be used from any browser.

I would love to be able to sit with my instrument and notate with the iPad on a stand or table. The first approach I'm going to try is with a RESTful web service backend app running on my desk computer. If I don't get the performance I want with that, I'll create a Cocoa server app with direct sockets. This seems like a very doable project and I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
