Yes, I think so.

I have tried to use midi2ly but found I wanted to clean up the output 
so I made the script http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/musik/bin/tidy_midi.pl
However I didn't like result so I started my work on 
http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/musik/bin/miditoly.pl to see if I could 
do any better. Part of my answer was what I started to describe in
http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/musik/bin/midi_to_lilypond.tex

> or did you just make something up upon my question?

I don't understand what you mean by "make something up", it sounds
negative, but I don't believe you ment it that way.

BTW, there is another converter in http://web.mit.edu/music21/ but I
have some trouble installing and running it (missing lilypond).  And
I'm getting trouble compiling lilypond itself, partly because of the
guile-1.8 req. So I haven't hade any chanse to test it.
