Midi can't handle more than one voice on a lilypond staff.
Unfortunately,
no one wants to change from staff to voice context for midi
voices.  If
you put each voice on a separate staff to make a midi version
it will work.

That is easier with sly too, because you don't have
to edit your notes, you can use the same notes with
any number of different .ly files.
