Re: Experimental Web-based Lilypond Editor

[Jan Terje Augestad]

Hi,

A web-based editor is GREAT! I've wanted a web-based notation software for a years, and this is really perfect. This would definitely be my main editor if it met the following (very few) criteria:

* Use of the latest stable release

* Ability to open and save to hard drive or Dropbox (if you were able to create accounts which linked to a Dropbox account/folder, that'd be perfect)

I use two different computers nearly every day, and it would be very nice to always keep the same setup on each computer. Not to mention being able to do quick projects on iPad. 

This is a very exciting project, and I really hope you are able to continue to develop this into a stable release one day. I will gladly volunteer as a tester if you need it.

Enthusiastically,

JanTerje

PS. I may add that I'm a very recent Lilypond convert, so I don't have more than a couple of months experience. 

I had also the firewall issue, and wasn't able to preview or save anything.

I've been working on something I think the LilyPond community may find very useful: a web-based editor. Before you check it out, keep in mind that it's at a pre-alpha stage. It's likely that certain things won't work as expected, and it will probably crash and be down at times. I've only tested it in Chrome 15 and Firefox 9. It should work in Internet Explorer 9 or 10, but will almost certainly not work in IE8 or earlier.

Saving will create a new URL that you can share with others. If they save, it will be saved as a new revision, preserving your original.

This could be useful for:

• Posting example code that you'd like others to look at and mess with.
• Quick projects when you don't have access to your regular development environment.
• Perhaps as your main editor someday.

Future features might include:

• Ability to open and save to your hard drive.
• Ability to open and save to Dropbox.
• Open to suggestions.

Let me know how it works for you!
