Hmm - I'm not so deep into MusicXML and Lilypond - I would really appreciate
it if you could elaborate a bit more on that? It is always good to
understand the limitations :)

I see - since MusicXML does not have a kind of grouping per voice or staff
like Lilypond-> just a simple list of pitches (which can be assigned to any
voice and staff) it might be not so easy to (automatically) decide what to
do in musicxml2ly: like adding an { s1*2 } to keep the context alive or
adding some more \change Staff="2" or whatever…
But still - if this kind of limitation is known, does it mean that
musicxml2ly can’t provide a sane default if there’s any?
I can contribute a fix if there’s such a default and somebody explains it to
me…
Cheers
Florian
