Why jump through all these hoops?
granted, ABC-midi is not as complex and its rendering is not as nice as
lilypond generated sheets - but for collaborative composition it's quite
sufficient and the ABC text-format is perfect for a wiki.
Besides, there are already existing wiki-plugins for it.
example: http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abcmiditutorial
and you can toy around: http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abc
Once you're done, you could download the ABC midi notation, run it
through 'abc2ly' and fine-tune it in lilypond if that's needed.
Midi-playback works from most browsers; timidity can also open URLs.
Sound-fonts are of course an issue and will need to be pre-shared.

There is also OOOLilyPond, a Lilypond macro for
OpenOffice.
This sounds like it could be used for "collaborative composition"
along with the openoffice importer feature of XWiki platform:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication
In that you could upload any kind of document that can be read by
openoffice to a website running http://xwiki.org platform and they'd
automatically get converted to web documents that can be wiki-edited
as regular documents. Although since it's an "import" it's a one-way
operation. And I'm not sure how the music fonts would end up getting
handled in the browser (or if music would end up rendered as images
included in the web document).
It's certainly worth a try for those wanting to do this kind of thing
on the web. I always thought there ought to be a "wiki" for writing
music collaboratively. -- Niels
