Attached is a MIDI file you can try importing. This was done with the 
SpeedyMIDI program from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/speedymidi/files/ which I have been 
using heavily for SATB hymnal work.

To me, MIDI import is a data entry method rather than a means of 
recording music. I view the midi2ly script as nothing more than a way to 
get manually-entered pitches and durations into LilyPond - and so far, 
it's been serving me well for that. When I begin work on file that is a 
midi2ly result, I immediately do a big copy-and-paste to my own standard 
templates. Oh, I suppose I _could_ learn Python and edit the midi2ly 
script to my specs. But even so, I couldn't escape editing work since I 
still need to add lots of lyrics.
