There's a lot of wisdom in your comment, Mike. I agree that the best
thing would be for Musecore and Lilypond to define themselves in
complementary ways.
David, given the idea that the soul of Lilypond is engraving, I don't
know if having musescore import Lilypond syntax is absolutely
necessary or even absolutely possible. For them to do that would
require using Lilypond as a library and constantly updating the import
routines. The insane and incredible richness of Lilypond makes a 1-1
translation nearly impossible, so Musescore would have to support only
a subset of Lilypond features.
Not that I mean to convince you to invest spare time you don't have
into musescore integration - apologies if I give that impression.
