To clarify on this point, I would separate "Gallery" items into a separate
page from anything related to installing/using LilyPond. This is fairly
normal and I would want to maintain a clear distinction between things that
let you work with LilyPond to do what *you* want, and things that either
(a) have no functional use (e.g., postings of LilyPond-engraved works), or
(b) are limited-scope utilities (such as Scale Matcher), particularly in
the latter case so that someone doesn't go to the site mistakenly thinking
they can use it to do x (in spite of clear disclaimers to the contrary).
