Then what does the --key feature do? If it doesn't decide that note
58 is a bes in F major but an ais in B major, what does it do? I
thought it might put the correct \key statement into the .ly file, but
it doesn't seem to do that, either. If it's going to be a complete
no-op, it should be removed.
I had thought that this used to work, but can't verify it by checking
midi2ly 2.0.3.

Best as in the theoretically best way to transfer information between
full-featured notation programs, yes. Best as in the best way to get
information off the web and into lilypond for typesetting, no.
Has anyone ever found an XML file on the internet that they wanted to
typeset? I very frequently find ABC and MIDI files that I want to
use. So abandoning abc2ly and midi2ly, or even etf2ly, doesn't seem
to me like a way to increase the utility of lilypond.
