Dear all,
I am still working on "XML2PMX". It is more complex than I had thought.
Since November 2014, when I started the endeavor, I wrote some 1500
lines of Oberon Code.
I assure you that it works, but it is not yet in a shape for testing.
Give me a few more weeks.
Please let me know, when you are interested in testing, then I will send
the solution to your private email.

Dirk: It's occurred to me that Luafying musixtex itself is
hardly the most obvious project "in that direction".
No, I did not mean the whole of it. The core of MusiXTeX is
nitty-gritty typesetting and TeX is good at that.
I meant that add-ons requiring basic data processing and
computing should be written with LuaTeX in mind as the
engine. TeX is cumbersome when handling floating-point
numbers and arrays, but LuaTeX has those.
What about Luafying M-Tx or PMX? Much less challenging
and it would certainly help in packaging for TeXLive; the
existing packages are dependent on p2c and f2c respectively.
More pertinently, the existing packages are thereby dependent
on Dirk Laurie and Don Simons respectively. I'll collaborate with
anyone who wishes to undertake this task, but to so it all by
myself would miss the main point of doing it.
And did you have any success in exporting to (or was it
importing from) MusicXML?
Project not dead, but dormant.
