What a coincidence: I was actually planning a blog entry comparing the
MusicXML-Import of various programs.

It would be great to collaborate!
I'd recommend to standardize the comparison by using these sample files (both
MusicXML and their corresponding PDF/PNG files) as reference files:
http://www.musicxml.com/music-in-musicxml/example-set/. They cover quite a
broad spectrum of music notation. I would simply open these files with
different applications and save the rendered scores each time as PDF files
without changing / tweaking anything. Then we can compare the resulting PDF
files.
Of course this doesn't necessarily tell anything about the quality of music
engraving of the compared applications. It rather shows the quality of the
file format conversion of these programs. musicxml2ly will not score very well
here, I'm afraid. I have already tested quite a few of these files...
In the same vein I'd like to do a comparison of various OMR applications with
these sample files...
