I have had some success with the Rosegarden export features, however the
program is so old that it's MusicTeX output needs to be edited as follows:
replace \input musicnft
\input musictex
with \input musixtex
\input musixsty
This sometimes provides a file which TeX can handle without further editing, if
further editing is required it is usually a major task:-(
Pmx output works a bit better and because pmx is more like abc it is much
easier to edit the output from Rosegarden.
As the printed output from TeX is IMO better than that produced by abc2ps,
abcm2ps or yaps I have been toying with idea of writing an abc2pmx conversion
program, if I take the idea any further I will let you know.
