Hi Ming

I never use midi2ly, but I've just tested it in Frescobaldi using a 
MIDI generated by lilypond.
Everything works fine.
You should see a new file starting with something like this:

% Lily was here -- automatically converted by /usr/bin/midi2ly from 
/tmp/23-10-63.midi

You use Windows, right?
I don't think that it's a path problem. If lilypond runs in 
frescobaldi, also midi2ly should be able to run.
If midi2ly fails for some reason and Frescobaldi doesn't warn about 
this, then I'd say this is also a bug of Frescobaldi.

But I guess that the source of your problem is in midi2ly.
Please try debugging it using a command line:

midi2ly file.ly

and paste the output here

Keep me in Cc, as I'm going in holidays soon and I've disabled all the 
lilypond mailing lists.
