It is not just that. There are also a few advantages:
a) MusicXML export means the results are usable in a variety of notation
programs making use of an open standard.
b) volunteers can be given a complete toolchain. "You can use an editor
of your choice" is about as helpful for the average musician as "You
can use a lathe of your choice".
c) "Ok, let's assume I have a MIDI keyboard hooked up to my computer for
note entry. How do I go from there?" "Bring the keyboard back to the
store. We are not going to use it anyway."
d) "I am well-versed in LilyPond. What form do you want the entry in?
Can I use music functions? What note language should I be using?
Should the voicing be reflected in ad-hoc voices? Should I be using
anonymous parallel voices? What kind of context mods should I be
using?" "Uh, we better form a committee for that kind of question."
