Glad to hear it!

Ah, no, we had a GSoC student last summer (David Garfinkle) who was working on 
a MusicXML export project.  The idea is that the export work will eventually 
pave the way for more robust import.

There’s a listing on the website for this project among others (but it seems 
it’s not up-to-date with the current approach from last summer):
http://lilypond.org/google-summer-of-code.html

We were fortunate to have David Kastrup mentoring as the resident expert on 
LilyPond's internals.  From what I can tell the project went well, making solid 
progress towards MusicXML export.  (David, FWIW it seems to me you did a fine 
job!)

That’s probably a good idea in any case.
