It works for me, and I think Neil also could not confirm this, so

yes, we need to be able to verify this.

It's a nice hack and it probably works, but I'd rather do the right
thing by default.  Remember, without this hack, midi2ly cannot
recreate it's own midi files if they use voices.

I didn't know this was in the documentation and it should probably
be removed.

With the fixes in the above commits, even wtk1-fugue2.ly (one of
the nice test examples that was removed and not put back) can
be nicely recreated by midi2ly.

Greetings,
Jan
