Hi Jonas,Depending on the level of concurrency your students need when editing, a relatively low-tech option might be students using Frescobaldi locally on their computers with the LilyPond files saved to a shared destination (e.g., an sftp server or some DropBox-like service) so that students could collaborate. This wouldn’t really work for completely simultaneous editing, but I’ve known colleagues who took a similar approach when collaborating on LaTeX documents and they didn’t have too many problems.

The app/site *must* allow entry of notes using either a MIDI keyboard or a "Quick Entry" (mouse-click) type UI; drag-and-drop would obviously be a bonus, but is hardly necessary.

Don’t need that. In fact, in a “perfect” world, the students wouldn’t even see the .ly code. ;)
Cheers,
