I will save you time searching: at this time, no completely
reliable option for converting LilyPond to MusicXML exists.

The best option available is Frescobaldi's function, which
you can try out by activating experimental features in
Edit > Preferences, then restarting Frescobaldi, opening the
file, and using Import/Export > Export MusicXML.
