Hi Leszek, 

Out of curiosity I downloaded and processed the Kyrie.xml, from the link you 
attached to your post of 12-05-17. 
I was curious in particular because I mostly use the same procedure for 
engraving with LilyPond as you do, starting with Finale, except that I'm on a 
Mac (OSX 10.9.5 also known as Mavericks).
So I imported your file in Frescobaldi, and then copied and pasted it in 
TeXShop, my favourite editor, which processed your file without any problem 
(both with LilyPond version 2.18.2 and 2.19.58.1). 

You can find the results here: 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/512573/FileChute/LilyPond-test_Kyrie_from_xml-file.zip

So apparently for a Mac there is nothing wrong, neither with your xml-file nor 
with recent musicxml2ly.
It may be of litte help to you (as  long as you stay on Windows ;-)) but it 
could perhaps help you in narrowing down the search for the source of trouble 
in your system.

Best regards

Robert Blackstone
