MIDI to Lilypond via MusicXML is an interesting option, but there should
be an easier way.
Currently I am looking into the midi2ly python code to fix bugs and
improve performance. My unpublished testing version already is a little
bit better than the one that is shipped with lilypond 2.12.x and 2.13.x.

Could you mail me the MIDI file you are talking about so I can see how my
version of midi2ly handles it ?
