A quick test on the same MIDI file as earlier shows that it spells Bb
wrong, and doesn't correct it if I edit the key signature.  I know
that's not the only thing wrong with MIDI import routines, but it
seems like a pretty simple thing to get right, and so far most of the
ones I've tried this week get it wrong.  Including midi2ly, which
allegedly does have an option for telling it how to spell Bb, but as
far as I know that feature has never worked.

When I die and there's a memorial service, I want you to go to the
piano and play _The Man I Love_ in my key. If I don't come out on that
stage, then you'll know I'm gone.

in fact play _The Man I Love._)
