MIDI output can be imported by many music software, but really it is limited to notes (without enharmonic details), individual note velocity, tempo and some amount of stuff like lyrics. This at most work for getting playable notes into another program (which I have done a lot), but not much more. > > > Just learned of MusicXML and I see there is a command line utility > > > for importing MusicXML files to Lilypond. > > > > > > Is there a utility to export Lilypond to MusicXML [...] > > > > Not really.

Yes, this one is created by me. The aim is not to cover everything but to stably cover the base features that suffice for 99.8% of all scores. Please try it, and see if it works out for your purposes. If not, maybe tell what is not working out, so I might be able to fix/implement it. To use it, just download the project and place it somewhere that is included by Lilypond, include the `base/export.ily` and add this to your document: \layout { \musicXMLExport "path/to/output.musicxml" \musicXMLAll % \musicXMLAllNoBreaks if you don't want to export line breaks } (if you have multiple scores you need to specify the output path in score layout). Then call lilypond ’pon your file and you should hopefully get a working musicxml version of it in the specified place. Cheers, Tina
