I don't think abc2ly is very actively supported and developed currently.

The future is in improving musicxml in/export for LilyPond.

There is xml2abc and xml2abc by Wim Vree, these are quite good:

https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/xml2abc.html
https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/abc2xml.html


And there is musicxml2ly to convert musicxml to lilypond. 
This probably works better now already than abc2ly.

And MusicXML can be imported in all major Music typesetting programs like 
Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, and MuseScore.
