How can I find out which version of LilyPond is installed on some wiki with this extension?
more specifically, on wikimedia wikis?
peace.

Usually the [[Special:Version]] has that information. If what you need is missing, you should file a bug.
Special:Version shows the version of the Extension:Score but not of LilyPond (whose newest version is 2.18.1).
thanks, but i have no reason to think the latest version is installed (and indeed, i vaguely remember seeing evidence that it isn't).
i do not know if not having the version listed on Special:Version is a bug - it may well be: many external bins versions, even those not used by core are listed at the top (php, mysql, elasticsearch, lua), but not all: httpd server (usually apache, i guess), imagemagic, and of course, lilypond versions are not listed.
it would be enough for me to know which version is used on wikimedia servers - surely *someone* should know that, no?
peace.
You could find the version that WMF is running by poking around on http://noc.wikimedia.org/
I think they're running Ubuntu LTS which would be 12.04. I think that means they're using 2.14.2.
