This fork is not a form of schism.  We just did it for practical reasons: we 
can develop faster and implement features that are important to us but maybe 
not to others.  I wrote a lot of bug reports concerning musicxml2ly but right 
now there don't seem to be too many people with expertise/interest in MusicXML, 
Python and time on the list.  (Correct me if I'm wrong.)  Of course we would 
love to see at least some of our code end up in a LilyPond version.  We just 
don't have the necessary time to add it to the lilypond development tree…  
Maybe you could help?!

Well yes, because our improvements are still on 
https://github.com/Philomelos/lilypond-musicxml2ly-dev.  Feel free to download, 
test, improve and add it to the latest version of musicxml2ly on lilypond.org.  
You can also test the current development version on philomelos.net.
