Re: Reasons why a LilyPond-to-MEI conversion should be developed

[Andrew Bernard]

While MEI may be ‘universal’ in intent, it is just an open source project. 
Since lilypond is open source, it would make sense for the open source 
community to cooperate.

But how many people use MEI, and how much traction has it gained? Is it 
universally favoured? In other words, is consideration of this project 
worthwhile to begin with?

Interesting thought. I should be surprised if MEI were to consent in granting 
LilyPond this honour (as which I’d consider it). Given the ‘universal’ intent 
of MEI, they might not want to ‘take sides’ with LilyPond (as opposed to other 
typesetting software) in such a complete and definite way.
