I think as an open-source project under the Apache umbrella, Nutch might be a great project for musicians with development skills to get involved and add more music search functionality. A while ago I had a brief look at the Music and Audio Retrieval tools (http://maart.sourceforge.net) which aims to offer search and retrieval of music fragments within midi and mp3 files. I'm not sure how far along that project is, but searching into lilypond files, as you suggest, does not seem to pose insumountable problems, at least when thinking out loud about it in really general terms.

I find it's an excellent idea; maybe some extra options could be needed (for instance, to find only LilyPond files, or free-licensed scores :-), but this is indeed good start.

Applying Google-like world-domination plans to LilyPond! :-) OK, I may have too much imagination... Regards, Valentin.
