Hi Tina, I just tried this with a one-part-per-line choral piece. It looks like if I wanted to send it to a publisher it would require very little cleaning up, which is great. Here’s what I saw:
All the notes and lyrics were in the right places. Recently I got excited by Lilypond’s automatic placement of lyric extenders, and deleted all the "__" from my score, so the XML version has no lyric extenders. A previous version of the file has the extenders so I could use that, but future scores would be less likely to include explicit extenders. Text scripts were great, but one came out as "mezza voce †", so the ASCII alias wasn’t replaced. An anacrusis bar was achieved with hidden rests after the notes, which didn’t look great. So overall it exported this piece excellently. It would require very little cleaning up to be publishable. Well done!
