I took some time yesterday night to take a look to improvisor code and
estimate the cost of adding musicXML export. Import is indeed more
complicated.
I downloaded the code of improvisor 3.39. It's the last and only code
available. Improvisor inner model is a little bit different than
musicXML
one. Common practice in musicXML is to don't "time" the chords and
put them
in the middle of notes. At least, this is my experience with finale
musicXML
export features. I managed to make a quick and dirty prototype to
export a simple melody (no
tuplet) and chord root and bass (no extension yet). Chords are in
between
notes but lily+musicML2ly shoud be able to deal with it.
Unfortunately, 3.39
is an old version, and according to Bob Keller the code base changed
a lot
but it's not public yet. With some more voices, perhaps we can
convince Bob Keller and his team to
open up the repository to the public. After all, improvisor is a
fine piece
of software which can benefit from open development, moreover if
time and
resources are an issue.

Thanks man. I'll forward this to Bob Keller too.
I think he mentioned in a message that he is willing to give
developers svn access to the recent code.
Bob, could you comment on this?
Kind regards,

I'll be looking toward moving Impro-Visor to a public repository, as
soon as I stabilize the current version, which I hope will be before
the end of June. Is SourceForge the best bet?
Thanks.
