Issue 665: Request: MusicXML backend http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=665
New issue report by v.villenave: This feature has been proposed by Reinhold Kainhofer on -devel: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2008-06/msg00129.html More recently, an user shared his experience on -user: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-08/msg00838.html Some highlights: Han-Wen: "The last time we looked at this, I think the resolution was to dump a music stream from LilyPond and postprocess that." Reinhold: "unfortunately, the stream does only contain the musical content in time-sorted order. MusicXML, however, also contains (or rather, can contain) full information about page layout, breaks, object positioning and similar settings [...] Since Lilypond produces a layout that is far superior, I'd also like to include that information in the xml files..." Han-Wen: "you would probably have to use some sort of dual approach, where you store the stream, label each event, and then you trace back the grobs during output stage to their originating events. You can use the ordering from the stream to output the XML elements in the correct order."
