Hi,
Reading about improved MusicXML support for Lilypond 2.11.64 I decided
to play around with the musicxml2ly tool a bit. I downloaded the
collection of 18 MusicXML examples from
http://www.recordare.com/xml/samples.html
and processed them with musicxml2ly. Then I processed the resulting *.ly
files with Lilypond (version 2.11.64).
I will not describe in detail here what the results were. Some examples
showed good results, some showed really obvious typestting errors, some
examples exited with error messages when processed by Lilypond. Everyone
I did a similar test with some of my own scores exported from Finale to
musicXML a while back with pretty good results. The most common problem
was duplication of dynamic markings--very easy to clean up. I was
impressed with the conversion overall.
quite another thread topic: Are there any women using Lilypond ? I
haven't seen them yet. )
I can remember seeing messages from one, at least (!). I don't remember
her name but she has a website with lilypond source files available for
download.
As a a comparison I also tried the examples with the new Finale Notepad
2009. I hate to admit it but: At this moment Finale Notepad does a
better MusicXML rendering job than Lily.
Not surprising, since they almost certainly created the xml files with
Finale. Finale Notepad is a severly crippled version of Finale, though,
while Lilypond's free version is, well, the only version, with all of
the features of the full version. ;-)
