Absurd thing to do

[Shane Brandes]

Does anyone have any experience converting lilypond to finale type
files? I only ask this because I have had a run in with a publisher
who thinks it would be too much work as all their output is from that
app and all mine is now on lilypond. I gave him a pretty good lecture
on the awesome nature of Lilypond, but to no avail. Not that it would
change our other argument (I am an "obsolete" composer), but I want to
at least abolish that one if possible. I suspect it is possible to run
a .ly into an .xml and then import it somehow but have not had the
opportunity to try it out myself. Nor do I really want to.
