I tried this:
1. opening the file with MuseScore (3.6 portable) 2. reexporting in MusicXML format, 3,
then importing the resulting file into Lilypond:
Now the import works, but there are still a certain number of errors in the Lilypond file
when I try to process the file (warnings are in French). I do not have the time and did
not try and correcting them...
AbsoluteDynamicEvent non attaché
Avertissement : liaison de prolongation non terminée (3×)
Avertissement : trait d'union sans suite ; escamoté
and the process stops with error code 6

Hello Mark,
Unfortunately I do not know any way to produce a small xml that will give this
error.
The file I wanted was "O holy night" by Adolphe Adam (translated into English)
adapted
by P. Le Bas.
It came from this address:
https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Minuit,_chr%C3%A9tiens_(O_Holy_Night)_(Adolphe_Charles_Adam)#In_English_translation.2C_.22O_Holy_Night.22
The legend on this page is misleading: the files that can be downloaded clicking on the
supposedly MusicXML icon have a ‘.mxl’ suffix, i.e. they are MuseScore files in fact:
I know, it’s unfortunate that this suffix is so close to ‘.xml’…
The first page this gives in the recent MuseScore 4.0.0r is:
Exporting all the parts to MusicXML produces the attached O_Holy_Night.xml file. Note
that MusicXML is a textual format, and one can open such files with any text editor:
Here again. a suffix point: historically, MusicXML has used ‘.xml’, which is marked as
obsolete by MuseScore. An attempt to change that to ‘.musicxml’ doesn’t seem to have
gained approval yet, though.
Converting O_Holy_Night.xml to LilyPond with:
*musicxml2ly (LilyPond) 2.23.82*
*Copyright (c) 2005--2022 by*
* Han-Wen Nienhuys <[email protected]>,*
* Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[email protected]> and*
* Reinhold Kainhofer <[email protected]>*
* Patrick L. Schmidt <[email protected]>*
produces the attached O_Holy_Night.ly, converted to the attached O_Holy_Night.pdf file
by LilyPond.
HTH!
