Thank you for the hint, it’s at https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx-contrib
but …

"lilypond: an extension inserting music scripts from Lilypond in PNG format.“

… it only inserts bitmaps, even if sphinx can also create PDF via LaTeX. I was aiming for „usable“ PDF output - sorry, didn’t make clear.

The lilypond snippet is compiled into a PNG image, but the documentation you write can be exported to html, latex, pdf, epub, etc.

Is it clear?

I tried it more than a year ago, I remember I had some issues with cropped images at the bottom. The developer of the sphinx plugin told me that it was lilypond's fault (and it's probably true, since I know there are some problems in this area).

Anyway, I don't think this plugin is actively developed so think twice before starting using it.

 

It was just a thought anyway; I guess I’ll stay with my ConTeXt-LilyPond workflow. Or I manage to combine ConTeXt’s markdown and LilyPond processing somehow. (Since it’s not a priority for me, it’ll probably never happen.)
