It seems that the note durations in your MIDI file are not exact,
as is the case for any MIDI file that sounds somewhat musical, for
example. You probably want to round the note durations to something
that looks reasonable on paper, so try something like
midi2ly --duration-quant=16
or
midi2ly --duration-quant=32
or
midi2ly --duration-quant=16 --allow-tuplet=8*2/3
depending on what kind of music you have.

Greetings,
When using midi2ly for the first time, I noticed some things about the
syntax that I didn't understand.  Here are a few lines, for example:

trackBchannelA = \notes\relative c {
% [SEQUENCE_TRACK_NAME] Track 1
  s4*3403/960 ais''''4*883/960 s4*358/960 gis4*474/960 s4*133/960 dis4*348/960

What is the * for?  Also, what are the numbers which are separated by
a '/'?
