Just a small follow up, I forgot to mention that I my musicxml2ly version is 2.19.82. I am also attaching a .musicxml file generated by MuseScore and the .ly file generated by musicxml2ly. The .ly file does not compile and has the hidden characters and strange enconding I mentioned.
test.musicxml <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4165/test.musicxml> test.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4165/test.ly> Opening this last file in a plain text editor and forcing the encoding as UTF-8 allows us to spot several '\00' characters. Also notice that the encoding of the .musicxml input file is indeed UTF-8 and those strings where the '\00' character appears, such as encoding software and encoding date, appear perfectly normal in the input file. Also, the '\00' characters also appear in LilyPond specific commands, in this case in a line which should contain '\context Staff = "2" <<'. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
