Re: Export to XML

[Andrew Bernard]

I have no idea what software Schott Music Group uses for engraving, but 
it's disappointing nowadays that many of the larger publisher are 
demanding that composers do their work for them and requesting finished 
work, at least finished to the point they can apply their house style. I 
don't think any of the big names use Lilypond, and as far as I recall 
various efforts to get Lilypond to export MusicXML (with all its 
limitations)  have not come to any fruition. Unless they accept a PDF 
from you and print that or reset from scratch I think you are stuck. 
Sorry. I think the silence on the list re your question is also 
confirmation that there is not an answer to this. I may be wrong!
