Ok, I'll continue to try out things :)

I'll really love the texinfo/lilypond-book/html combination.
Most the feature to click on an image and get the source-code.

Thus \markup in ly-file is no option.
I once tried for another project, it was a nightmare...

I had a quick glance over the sphinx docu
https://sphinx.silverrainz.me/lilypond/
But couldn't figure whether it's possible with sphinx?
