Re: short Musikmesse minutes

Another interesting option might be the new library from Frescobaldi. Peter is using it for the export side of things, and it might be useful for import too. IIUC Frescobaldi can write a .ly file from its internal DOM representation. I think there is much in common between translating that DOM _to_ XML and to do the contrary. _Im_porting has the additional benefit of providing a 1to1 representation that can be directly converted to a LilyPond file which isn't so easy the other way round.

Without knowing all the internal details, I can say this sounds easy
but it is Not. Because, it imports, and converts to what exactly?
Certainly not to a LilyPond-usable representation of the music.

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.
