You could have a look at xml2ly: it has already a very readable output
and supports a lot of useful MusicXML features (most outstanding lack is
lyrics, at present). You should find a copy in the recent archives of
this list - or feel free to ask for it to me directly. I've never tested
it on Windows, but should be fairly trivial to have it working.
