Reported by Patrick Schmidt:
"In case this is not a known issue: all examples on http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/input/regression/musicxml/collated-files#top lead to a 404 Not Found Error.  It says e.g.

The requested URL /doc/v2.17/input/regression/musicxml/19/lily-4197d4c2.xml was not found on this server.

The link should actually point to the LilyPond input that was used to generate that image – and not to an .xml file.  There is something wrong here!"

[Federico Bruni]

Only the extension is wrong: replace .xml with .ly and it works:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/input/regression/musicxml/19/lily-4197d4c2.ly

So the anchor to the .ly file generated by musicxml2ly is getting the same extension of its xml source. I guess that the problem is in book-musicxml-testsuite.py

[Federico Bruni]

This used to work until version 2.14, when the linked file had the .ly extension. The last 2.15 has .xml extension.
But I cannot find any xml file in the out-www directory. This is an example of a directory where I should find a .xml file:

ls out-www/offline-root/input/regression/musicxml/ba/
lily-3043c78c-1.signature  lily-3043c78c-2.signature  lily-3043c78c-3.signature  lily-3043c78c-4.signature  lily-3043c78c-5.signature  lily-3043c78c.ly  lily-3043c78c.png

The following commit was added before 2.15.27 release:

    lilypond-book: Specify filename and ext for all snippets.

    Filename is used to link to the source file, ext is used to link
    to the generated file base.ext (usually a lily-????.ly, although
    for musicxml input files we copy the original to lily-????.xml).
    For inline snippets use an empty filename and '.ly' as ext.

    MusicXML test suite: use custom py formatter for MusicXML files

    Use the .xml (and .mxl) files in collated-files rather than the
    converted .ly ones.

    In the future, I want to change the layout of each test case to also
    include renderings from other applications and maybe some other information.
