There's the rub. Money.

Looking at a similar but simpler problem, converting mathematical
expressions between LaTeX and MS Word. The typical cost appears
to be around $100; double that if you want to go both ways.
That means you pay as much for one conversion mode as the entire
MS Office Suite.

Comparing: LP is free (both senses, like LaTeX); Sibelius/Finale
cost about $600. So the going rate would appear to be about $600
for conversion of a subset of functionality.
