Hello, I apologize in advance if this was already asked and answered on this list. I’m looking into exporting some of my lilypond music into the MusicXML format. All I could find so far was the python-ly package that attempts to translate ly files into MusicXML. It has some issues that could be fixed, and some that I don’t think could be so easily fixed, e.g. whether or not to place accidentals, beams, and so on.
It seems to me that the nature of the MusicXML format is such that in can only be correctly written when the music is interpreted in context. Which is what lilypond does. So I’m guessing that the right way to go about this is to create a new Translator, alongside Performer and Engraver, that instead of midi/graphical objects just dumps XML. Finally, here are my questions: 1. Does this seem like a right approach? 2. Was this ever attempted and is there any work left that one can continue? Thanks in advance for any help!
