Comment #17 on issue 665 by address@hidden: Request: MusicXML
backend
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=665
Does anybody know whether the old bounty offers are still valid?
If yes, they would by now up sum up to $600 (counting everything mentioned
in this issue report).
Add to it $50 from me.
I would really like to have a structural MusicXML export.
My 2cts to the discussion:
- I think we all are convinced of the superiority of Lilypond's engraving
output.
Nevertheless there are situations where one may need Lilypond scores
to be used with other programms.
See comment #6
or this discussion on -user ("my" thread):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-06/msg00438.html
- To offer an export option is nice behaviour,
not to offer it may be regarded as arrogant.
So having it could improve Lilypond's acceptance.
- To have an at least semantically correct MusicXML file
(instead of one with Lilyponds's layout information)
would be plain better than not having it.
- Many of the possible uses of such a file wouldn't even be interested
in the superior layout information
So this is one more vote for this feature.
