Is there a working extension for this? Seemingly [[w:Wikipedia:WikiTex]]
exists, but I'm not clear on whether it's of usable quality level at this point.

Blah, make that [[Wikipedia:WikiTeX]].

I don't know if there are still unresovled issues for us or not. But if there
are please resolve them.

Look at [[Bug 189]] There is something there but it is over my head

Hi,

Comment on bug 189: It is a simple extension using Lilypond (you have to have
Lilypond installed in order to operate this). The music is typeset by
enclosing Lilypond notation into <lilypond>..</lilypond> tags. It is very easy:

<lilypond>c4 d e f g</lilypond>

creates a scale from c to g, in quarter notes. (It could be that the tag is
actually <lily>, not <lilypond>, but I do not remember off-hand, because it
is such a long time ago that I made the extension.)

Ciao,

Tim considers Lilypond too inherently unsafe.

We'll want something that's cleaner and more secure.

Tim considers Lilypond too inherently unsafe.

I'll be bold and reopen this request since on bug 189 comment 37 (from 2008), Tim Starling said
"[...] if you really want to write a LilyPond extension, you could at least go to the trouble of reviewing its security [...]"
and there is a specific request to fix the problem of DoS attacks on Bug 29630.

Marking later, it isn't actionable until it's fixed

For the record, I think it is more likely we will get bug 33193 fixed than this one.

This is now fixed, FWIW.
