I don't think they'll rapidly change.
However, I have never really bothered about i18n-able messages, so some
error/warning messages might currently not really suited for translation...
Also, some messages are not really userfriendly (i.e. hard to understand...).
So, in short, I don't think that most of the messages will change in the near
future, but feel free to improve the messages to make them more targeted at
end users (rather than simply describing a technical problem).
Another thing: The musicxml2ly
(http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Invoking-musicxml2ly.html#Invoking-musicxml2ly)
web page describes only a subset of options available with musicxml2ly. The
current set of options is:
Usage: musicxml2ly [options] FILE.xml
Convert MusicXML to LilyPond input.
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose be verbose
--lxml Use lxml.etree; uses less memory and cpu time.
-z, --compressed Input file is a zip-compressed MusicXML file.
-r, --relative Convert pitches in relative mode.
-l, --language=None Use a different language file, e.g. 'deutsch' for
deutsch.ly.
--no-articulation-directions --nd
Do not convert directions (^, _ or -) for
articulations.
-o, --output=FILE set output filename to FILE
