Hi Rutger, this is great.
But I think you mean this page:
[Took me a while to figure that out.]
I conclude it's not worth spending any energy on lilypond
abc2ly. Sounds like it should even be dropped, and perhaps
the NR could day how to achieve ABC to lilypond.
It sounds reasonable to drop the current abc2ly implementation.
However, I think we shouldn't do this without somehow including
abc2xml in the distribution and (probably) create a wrapper script
abc2ly that transparently replaces the old implementation and
calls abc2xml | musicxml2ly instead.

Isn't it possible (and easy) to use Wim Vree's utility
abc2xml, see
https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/xml2abc.html
to convert to MusicXML and
then convert the MusicXML into lilypond? From a
maintenance/engineering
view, it is much preferable to have one 'intermediate' to
convert
to/from, in stead of a separate converter package for each
notation
system to be converted.
Wim's converter is listed in the 6-of-the-best for ABC, see
http://abcnotation.com/blog/2017/11/12/6-of-the-best-a-guide-to-abc-software/
