Oh well, this puts me between the rock and the hard place.   
musicxml2ly cannot deal with MusicXML errors reliably.  On the other  
hand, MuseScore can read broken MusicXML but makes broken Lilypond  
output (missing braces).

One possible approach is to open and save MusicXML in MuseScore and  
then use musicxml2ly on the saved file.  I checked it quickly, the  
chords are not lost, but I need to see if anything else is preserved.

I don't know how to persuade you that musicxml2ly could and should do better.
