Musescore[1.3] Lilypond export produces unusable files
Dear developers,
When I tried Lilypond export I've found that exporting may produce .ly file with escape sequences which can't be handled by Lilypond
Example provided in attachment
error log was made with
lucius@diana ~ $ lilypond --loglevel=DEBUG Suite_in_G_minor_HWV_432_Gigue.ly 2> lilypond_error.txt
I am using last stable version of Lilypond
lucius@diana ~ $ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.16.2
I hope that information will help you to improve Musescore.
Best regards, Evgeny

Unfortunately, it seems LilyPond export never worked well enough to be all that useful, and it has apparently been removed from the next major version. Instead, the main focus regarding interoperability is on making the best possible MusicXML export.
If you really need Lilypond output, you can export to MusicXML from MuseScore and then use musicxml2ly.py from your Lilypond installation to convert to Lilypond.
