I agree that it is unfortunate that nobody has sent (GPL-licensed) patches to address this. But hey, if nobody's interested in musicXML, that's not our problem. > There have been some discussions in the past about developing a > MusicXML backend for LilyPond, but so far (AFAIK) no one has started > working on it or knows how it should be implemented. I wouldn't say that. Han-Wen and Reinhold seem to have a good handle on the issue. The problem is that nobody wants to work on it. *shrug* LilyPond is open source, and it's never been easier to get started with lilypond development. Whether or not somebody sends patches is simply a matter of how interested they are.
