All I wanted to say is that there exists a piece of open source software
that does a decent job of converting MusicXML into LilyPond. It may be
worth considering to clone this tool, strip everything but the MusicXML
importer and LilyPond exporter and proceed from there.

Of course it is not trivial, but continuously enhancing the current
MusicXML.py isn't trivial either.

Alternatively, we could give the MuseScore LilyPond exporter some live
it needs to keep it alive.
