I am writing software for harmonization and XML is a better language for
computers to read then lilypond.
OK. I'm not sure I agree, but that's a personal opinion.
I believe you are having the problem because you are misusing musicXML. I
think for the piano, you need to have two staves, one for the upper staff, and
one for the lower staff. Instead, you only have one staff, and use /backup
(which I know was recommended on this list, but I think is not the correct way
to do it.
Please see this link for an example of how piano music is stored in musicXML:
https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/tutorial/notation-basics/
When I'm done looking at this example, it's very hard for me to see that
musicXML is easier to deal with than lilypond syntax...
I hope this link will help you.
