Export-ly seems to work (mostly)

Exporting to ly seemed to work for me after being me go-to method to crash the program. Here are some things I noticed were wrong:
1.) Percussion staves need to use \drummode, not a stave in C major with a percussion clef
2.) Had weird time issues (specifically, a 5/8 bar made everything explode)

Something that could come in a later version of the export-ly is intelligent whole measure rests. Instead of using r1 r r r r r (ad nauseam), use R1*6 for any whole-measure rest

I know this isn't a priority right now, but it'd be useful for future development, I think.


Comments

1) I filed a report to separate this from the other bugs included in this post. See #9558: [LilyPond] Support for drums. If you have expertise with LilyPond please help fill in on some of the questions.

2) "weird time issues" please give steps to reproduce. See http://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/how-write-good-bug-report-s…

3) Export of whole measure rests is a duplicate of #8115: [LilyPond] Whole-measure rests of irregular time signature export as r4

In the future please limit to one bug per report if you are using the issue tracker.
