That depends on so many things - I did the current MusicXML importer and
it took me days of work, but MusicXML is an extremely obfuscated
representation of a music score due to its basic design which highly
MIDI influenced.

Did you see

http://bjungmann.privat.t-online.de/CapXMLSkripte.htm

it offers CapXML to MusicXML conversion, and Denemo does import
MusicXML...

Which programming languages are you familiar with? It makes a big
difference - e.g. if you are familiar with python then the python script
which you get from the above link could be adapted to output Denemo's
Scheme (which is how Denemo's musicXML import is done). I used the
libxml2 library to import MusicXML and then output the Denemo Scheme
using C, but that is just because I have written a lot of C in my time.
