Hi,
I'm using lilypond's SVG output to produce playable notation using
JavaScript and HTML5 audio:

Hello,
I recently had an informal discussion with some collegues on the use
of SVG, in general.
They are in music research, I am a developer working on a completely
unrelated topic -
so please forgive me my ignorance w.r.t. music-related terminology.
We discussed the possibilities to use music scores on web pages, and
they immediately
referred to Lilypond because of its quality output. While browsing
this list's archives, and
other on-line discussions for that matter, two questions came up:
- In what version, exactly, did Lilypond drop the use of groups
(svg:g) in its output?
I read a debate on this issue, where the key argument against
groups was the trouble
people have in editing grouped SVG elements in Inkscape. I can,
however, imagine all
sorts of situations in which group elements could be very useful
- from a developer's
point of view at least. This leads to the second question:
- For what purpose are people putting music up on the web; what's
the typical use case?
Just publishing it for others to read? Hyperlinking to it, from
it? Annotations? Keeping
bits and pieces of music for later reference? Learning? Studying?
Comparing versions?
I may, at some point, be in the position to do some work on this.
But I'm hesitant to dive
in at the deep end - meaning Lilypond tens of thousands of lines of
code ...
A bit of guidance might help though :)
cheers,

I can not answer your questions, but maybe developers list is better
place to ask... forwarding.
