Hi Carl, iiuc, xml2ly converts an .xml-file to a .ly-file, not the other way round. Speaking of it, I recently tested several methods to convert ly to xml: (1) openlilylib (with lilypond-export, Jan-Peter) (2) python-ly (3) Frescobaldi (4) de Wolff (https://github.com/de-wolff/lilypond.git) and converted the resulting files back to ly with musicxml2ly (builtin) and xml2ly (https://github.com/grame-cncm/libmusicxml.git, xml2ly by Jacques) The results were terrible :(( I was tempted to offer a very high bounty to get a working xml-export. Alas, we already have https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/665 and the there offered bounties are not that low ... Cheers, Harm
