That must be very frustrating for you. Sorry that I can't help you, as
I'm not familiar with musicxml2ly. It appears to be central to
Patrick's project so I would imagine he or his colleagues are working
hard on this.

There are a number of issue trackers relating to musicxml2ly but I see
no issue tracker for this bug, Martin.

I'd like to at least record the bug. We can create a tracker if you
supply these details:

1. A version of lilypond/musicxml2ly and a specific lead sheet from Wikifonia
   in MusicXML format that together exhibit the bug.

2. A version of lilypond/musicxml2ly from the 2.15.x series which does not 
exhibit the bug.

Cheers,
Colin.
