I have found that multiple voices have made musicxml2ly unable to work
with xml files I've tried to use. I found success in opening an xml
file with MuseScore, cleaning any unnecessary complications
(separating out voices, etc.), and exporting it from there.

That said, I spent enough time on all of that business that I wonder
if simply re-typing it would have been a better use of my time.
