I´m not a MIDI expert, but why use the MIDI way if you could import MIDI also directly into Finale? [This is probably possible.]
As MIDI does not contain any layout information it is not well suited for producing MusicXML output. Additionally, I don´t know the current features of MIDI files, but is it at all possible to add lyrics?

Would the following be an acceptable workaround (for the time being):
- produce MIDI with LilyPond
- use Rosegarden to import the MIDI, and export MusicXML
It's probably not perfect, but may be easier and give better reults
than OCRing the PDF...
