Empty music sheet generator in LilyPond

[Reinhold Kainhofer]

Every now and then you need empty music sheets to write a score or arrangement 
manually. To automate this, I have created a small online creator for empty 
music sheets, which uses lilypond as the backend to produce the nice sheets:

http://www.edition-kainhofer.com/en/empty-scoresheets.html

Please let me know what you think about it, before I'll announce it on -user. 
For example, if you feel that some score type is missing, it's really easy to 
add more than the currently available.

I'd also like to see how well it scales to more than one user. Lilypond takes 
a bit to create the score (and also the preview), so if you have any idea how 
to speed up lilypond, I'd like to hear it, too.

Currently, I'm caching all already created scores and previews, so lilypond is 
only run once for each size / sysstem count / type / etc. combination. 

I did not enable manual input of title/subtitle/composer/etc. on purpose, 
because that will increase the server load dramatically, because caching is no 
longer possible then (each different title requires a separate lilypond run). 
If you really need to create your custom title on an empty score page, mail me 
privately and I can tell you how to enable those controls. But I won't make it 
available to the general public.

Cheers,
Reinhold
