I am afraid this doesn't work; I would like to preserve all the comments 
and the general structure of the
source file and, in any case, my experience with midi2ly has been very 
frustrating up to now.
Try
example-1.ly -> example-1.midi -> example-1-midi.ly
or
foo.midi -> foo.ly -> foo.midi with a simple midi file
and you will see what I mean.

Yes, thank you, I got hold of lexer.ll and parser.yy; let me study the 
problem before I make additional comments.

I've been using Lilypond since 1999 or even before, I don't remember the 
exact date. It sticked to me
that Lilypond was the name of the program and Mudela the name of the 
language (MUsic DEfinition
LAnguage) I did not notice that there had been a change in the naming 
conventions.

Thanks for your help,
