I just found out that wikifonia.org has all the lead sheets I could
ever wish for. Most seem to have both melody and chords entered, but
when I open the musicxml files in mscore (or convert to .ly with
musicxml2ly) I only get the melody part.
My end goal is two midi files. One for the melody and one for the
chords, to help me with RH and LH piano practice respectively. The
first I now how to get, but how do I get the other?

I do not believe that mscore can import chords from the xml (if they be
supported in musixml at all). In fact, scores so imported into mscore and you
add your own chords, they will not be saved and reread by mscore (an obscure
bug in that program for musicxml imports!!).
Got to check out that wikifoni site--is it legal?

Thanks.
About the legality of Wikifoni, here's what they say in their FAQ.
A legal framework. A lot of sites are now being closed
because
they don't provide remuneration for the copyright owners. In a
way, sheet music you downloaded or published on these sites is
endangered, and might be off-line soon. Through a contract with
copyright holders, Wikifonia commits herself to pay a fixed
amount per sheet per month, so as to ensure that the original
artists get their share. This legal framework we consider
necessary for the durability of our commitment: collaborating on
sheets with you.

Is this good enough for Harry Fox? One sheet might never be downloaded or
downloaded 100,000 times. How does the site get money to pay? I guess I'll go
there and take a look. Maybe we can post our own masterpieces by creative-
commons.
