Martin,

IINM Julien Lerouge and me are the only ones who currently work on musicxml2ly. 
  We publish our results on 
https://github.com/Philomelos/lilypond-musicxml2ly-dev.  Feel free to use it 
and help to improve it!  Some of our latest improvements:
recognition of <credit>-Elements (title, composer, poet…)
new command line options, such as --no-system-breaks; --no-page-breaks; 
--no-page-margins; --no-stem-directions
automatic indentation of long instrument names
automatic update of the LilyPond-Code with convert-ly (after the conversion)
quite a few tiny xml examples

You are right, the resulting LilyPond files are not optimized.  To be honest: 
this is not at all on our priority list.  There are scores of more important 
bugs to kill.  But again we wouldn't mind some help!

Your plans to test a large collection of xml scores sounds very interesting!  
We use musicxml2ly on http:/philomelos.net to render xml files (Public Domain 
and CC-licenses).  Feel free to contact me if you are interested in an 
invitation to the beta version of the platform.
