Hi Rutger, this is great.
But I think you mean this page:
https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/abc2xml.html
[Took me a while to figure that out.]
I conclude it's not worth spending any energy on lilypond abc2ly.
Sounds like it should even be dropped, and perhaps the NR could day
how to achieve ABC to lilypond.
It sounds reasonable to drop the current abc2ly implementation. However,
I think we shouldn't do this without somehow including abc2xml in the
distribution and (probably) create a wrapper script abc2ly that
transparently replaces the old implementation and calls abc2xml |
musicxml2ly instead.

Isn't it possible (and easy) to use Wim Vree's utility abc2xml, see
https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/xml2abc.html to convert to MusicXML and
then convert the MusicXML into lilypond? From a
maintenance/engineering
view, it is much preferable to have one 'intermediate' to convert
to/from, in stead of a separate converter package for each notation
system to be converted.
Wim's converter is listed in the 6-of-the-best for ABC, see
http://abcnotation.com/blog/2017/11/12/6-of-the-best-a-guide-to-abc-software/
