I took some time yesterday night to take a look to
improvisor code and
estimate the cost of adding musicXML export. Import is indeed more
complicated.
I downloaded the code of improvisor 3.39. It's the last and only code
available. Improvisor inner model is a little bit different than musicXML
one. Common practice in musicXML is to don't "time" the chords and put
them
in the middle of notes. At least, this is my experience with finale musicXML
export features.
I managed to make a quick and dirty prototype to export a simple melody (no
tuplet) and chord root and bass (no extension yet). Chords are in between
notes but lily+musicML2ly shoud be able to deal with it. Unfortunately, 3.39
is an old version, and according to Bob Keller the code base changed a lot
but it's not public yet.
With some more voices, perhaps we can convince Bob Keller and his team to
open up the repository to the public. After all, improvisor is a fine piece
of software which can benefit from open development, moreover if time and
resources are an issue.

Thanks man. I'll forward this to Bob Keller too.
I think he mentioned in a message that he is willing to give developers
svn access to the recent code.
Bob, could you comment on this?
Kind regards,
