Hi Giampaolo,

As you wrote, by default, a separate MIDI channel will be assigned to each
staff.
But this default can be changed, see
3.5.7 MIDI channel mapping
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/midi-channel-mapping>  

For driving Hauptwerk, 'voice will only make it worse, but probably you
could make use of 'instrument:
That way, everything played with the same midiInstrument will be mapped to
the same MIDI channel:

  \midi {
    \context {
      \Score
      midiChannelMapping = #'instrument
    }
  }

I don't know how to handle Hauptwerk stops via MIDI at all (LilyPond's
standard GM instruments will not make any sense, of course). So, probably,
setting midiChannelMapping to #'instrument might solve your problem.

All the best,
Torsten
