Hello folks, I’m using musicxml2ly rather often, to convert MusicXML exported by PhotoScore Ultimate.
It is quite usable and does a good job, with some limitations that you have to live with: - it does not handle well \repeat’s with more that 2 alternatives; - upbeats (anacruses) are not nicely handled: you get a full mesure with skips to fill it; - it sometimes « loses » some lyrics on the way; - and for some reason, the recent versions generate \stem* commands and an annoying \pointAndClickOff, all of which I remove each time. I thus recommend musicxml2ly as a useful tool for my purposes.
