My toolchain is slightly longer, but I don't see why this could not be 
truncated.

I use SharpEye (http://www.visiv.co.uk/) to generate XML.  For historical 
reasons I then import the MusicXML into Noteworthy composer, then export 
from that as Lilypond.  The amount of correction required depends on how 
good the original music was.
