That's not the problem. The problem is that you feel that
lilypond developers are your personal slaves.
Oh no! That's not what I was trying to say! I just mean that Lilypond is
such a great program - and implicitly I mean that the Lilypond developers
are great guys who put a lot of time and effort in it. And I meant to say
that with such a great program, the need to export to another format is
not very urgent.
You're blaming lilypond developer for not doing a job that *you*
are not willing to do. That's not on.
Again, my intention was NOT to blame anyone. My apologees if it sounded
like that.
If you want something done, then start working on it. Since
you're (apparently) not willing to work on this, you can hardly
blame us for having the same opinion on the matter.
I do realize users and developers in such an open-source project have a
shared responsibility. I have shown I am willing to help where I can - I
contributed to the Dutch translation, and contributed some modest lines in
the C sources to improve MIDI output for example. Also I did some more or
less succesfull attempts to improve the midi2ly utility. I might continue
these attempts after I did some more studying on Python programming.
But allow me to dream about complete MusicXML support from/to Lilypond
somewhere in the future :-)
