Very cool! I run LilyBin (<a href="http://lilybin.com" rel="nofollow">http://lilybin.com</a>), which I've unfortunately let languish. I compile using AWS Lambda and stay within the free tier. Did you consider using Lambda?
Funnily enough, I spend the weekend making almost the exact opposite of this:<p><a href="https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi</a>
This is so cool. Hadn't heard of LilyPond before this. I browsed mutopiaproject.org for some .ly files and imported them. Works great. Thanks for sharing!
At first, I thought: 'Kinda cool Latex inspired markdown editor for notes, but the play button is missing.'<p>Then I saw the play in the top bar :D<p>Pure awesomeness!
This is quite cool! I do feel like the "code view" interface isn't the best default, the "Insert Notes" interface should be more than just a tool hidden in a menu, because that's more than likely the primary way people would prefer to write music. I would keep the code view to more of a "view source" option.

Pretty sweet, I'll just have to learn that LilyPond to make use of it. Is there any good resources out there? It would be nice to include some tutorials or example songs but well that's a minor issue.<p>To me learning through programming is very natural so I'm excited to try my hands on composing using this language. Didn't ever occur to me that the notation would be that simple. With same effort and time you put into learning say C++ could you become a proficient composer with this?
I sometimes try to use Denemo but the UI is a bit complicated so that writing LilyPond yourself maybe is easier? But I like that Hacklily hat some other input methods as tools. I would like to click on a virtual piano. <a href="http://www.denemo.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.denemo.org/</a>
