Re: Lilypond to MusicXML (was: Re: New Sibelius to LilyPond conversion suite)

Personally I would already be quite happy if Lilypond would only be able 
to export the most basic information like staffs, clefs, keys, notes, and 
beamings. More detailed and/or complex details I would then add manually 
in the software that I use to import the exported musicxml. Even that 
would already be a big step forward and a time saver compared to exporting 
score information via MIDI files and editing the result to get a readable 
and musically correct score.

But the main problem remains: Lilypond developers are also very happy 
Lilypond users, which could explain the lack of motivation to put a lot of 
time and effort exporting to a format that only people who do NOT use 
Lilypond really need ?

I'm a happy Lilypond user, and I don't really need MusicXML export, but it 
would still be nice to have it some day in the future.
