Do we? Yes, there are several "text-based" formats for describing music (MusiXTeX, PMX, M-Tx, ABC, PMW, LY, ... ). But why would anyone need to *inter-convert* these unless they were abandoning a format and needed to convert "legacy" files to another format? Pandoc is needed because there are often imposed requirements for "intermediate" formats; for example, documentation sources must be in a specific format or a pointy-headed boss insists on .doc format. But for us, there are rarely such requirements; we are just producing music scores (and parts) and midis; once we've learned a suitable input language, there's no reason routinely to convert descriptions to another.
