The limited experiments I have done with MusicXML were not fully successful in transferring files. Each software package has to implement it, and some variations seemed buggy. The very aged MIDI standard, however limited, at least seems to be solidly implemented by everyone. I hope this will all shake out soon with MusicXML, but until it does, it's a reason not to go there.
