Re: GSoC 2026 / contributing

Hi again,

I wonder if this is what it takes to implement backend support for
musicxml, which hopefully would be more maintainable than an external
python script:

1. Allowing Translator_group::create_child_translator to detect and
adapt to a child Xmlperformer_group.

2. Adapting translator-group-ctors.cc to do the same

3. New Xmlperformer_group child of Translator_group

4. A new xmlperformer suite, loosely based on the musicxml supported
elements: 
https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/elements/

5. New Score_xmlperformer, calling the suite and creating a performance
object.

6. XML-formatter, written in scheme, parsing this object into an
MusicXML file.

Kind regards, get well soon
