Musedata (http://www.ccarh.org/musedata/) is an electronic library of classical music scores, currently comprising XXX scores.  The music is encoded in so-called Musedata format (http://www.ccarh.org/publications/books/beyondmidi/online/musedata). musedata2ly converts a set of musedata files to one .ly file, and will include a \\header field if a .ref file is supplied.

This converter is not complete **--** this is left to the user as an excercise.
