Uh, no? Calling LilyPond's internal representation of music an
"executable" is nonsensical since it does not imply any actions but is a
structural representation of music. There never is any linear
representation being "executed", and source files are interpreted rather
than compiled, with no file-level representation ever being explicit.
That's not an academic difference since it is a non-trivial question
just what the structure of a MusicXML file is supposed to represent from
a given LilyPond input file.
