"I have been approached by a programmer who is interested in helping me  
with my
efforts to produce braille output by going the XML approach.[...]

Currently, using Erik's interface method, structure could be exported in a  
fairly
straightforward manner, but positional information from Lilypond's layout  
engine
would be much harder to extract. For the purposes of what we require [for  
braille
conversion], the layout information is not really required. Therefore, we  
propose to
just extract the structure and leave the positional information for a later  
time. I
think the back-end implementation would be largely the same anyway.

We propose to link to the LGPL MusicXML library if there are no objections:
http://libmusicxml.sourceforge.net

This library is pretty mature and covers all the bases I think."
