It has a few hiccups but it ignores most of what is not the the music per se but is instead decisions about how the music should look. I think LilyPond would be well served by a converter that takes all the pitches/durations and things like time signatures needed to make sense of them and ignores everything else. Meantime, Denemo can provide a rather clunky route to get the bulk of the notes of a piece from MusicXML into LilyPond notation.
