I've tried it, but:

$ lilymidi --pretty aeiou.mid 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/lilymidi", line 250, in <module>
    go ()
  File "/usr/local/bin/lilymidi", line 231, in go
    midi_data = read_midi (midi_file)
  File "/usr/local/bin/lilymidi", line 68, in read_midi
    return midi.parse (open (file).read ())
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'aeiou.mid'
$

It's installed from git, make install, perhaps something wrong with
the install script.

Some mixed Debian (mostly stable) installation.
