 Heh.  This is a known problem, and the OCR part is very, very
 difficult. It also has nothing to do with lilypond.
 
 
 There are a number of commercial products that, given a perfect 
 representation of a score, convert it to perfect musicXML - so it can't be 
 that hard.  
Hm, could you name some, please? I haven't come across such a product, yet.
 It may simply be that the OS community do not generally have these skills.

You sound like a mathematician.  They use provable interchangeably
with trivial.

 It may simply be that the OS community do not generally have these
 skills.

There are a number of commercial violinists.  Does that mean that
playing the violin can't be that hard?

The problem I see here is that an OCR task offers very little if any
synergies with LilyPond work.  Another is that a perfect
representation is usually only available when the music _has_ already
been entered into a computer notation program.
