As opposed to Philomelos, there has not been much of an attempt of
Scorio to cooperate/contribute to LilyPond and their business model also
seems a lot more closed down.

It would make much more sense to actually integrate the work on
musicxml2ly that Patrick Schmidt from Philomelos has in his GitHub
repository into LilyPond.  He offered this for taking but does not have
the time to put this into patches or similar by himself.

But if someone wants to work on that, it should be reasonably
low-hanging fruit.
