I think that a Python program might be a good idea:

You're right - it is good.

- We could surely use code or experience from the musicxml2ly project.

It'd be mostly code, as the person who made it (Reinhold Kainhofer) is no longer involved in the project.

- We could probably also use code and ideas from Frescobaldi.

This is foreign territory to me.

Python is a great tool for XML creation.  There is also http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/xml.html.  The advantage of doing it in Scheme is that you are building it directly into LilyPond.  I'd take a stab in the dark and guesstimate that 60% of the LilyPond user base that needs MusicXML export would not be comfortable running a Python script.

        or
       should MusicXML import/export be integrated into the core LilyPond code?
