I think MusicXML import (and, at some time, export) is crucial for the
future of LilyPond. It's the distinction between an open and a closed
community.

Personally, I'd settle for partial import. When importing a score into
LilyPond I am usually only interested in the notes, chords, ornaments
and lyrics. All the other things, positioning, page layout and so on, I
leave to LilyPond anyway.
