Hi, I had exactly the same problem the other day, also using 2.6.4 Windows
XP native. The only way I could solve it was by switching to a regular SATB
choir format (i.e. using ChoirStaff instead of StaffGroup). I have no idea
why that makes a difference, and I don't know if that will work for you in
terms of the visual layout.

Subject: Weirdo with midifiles
Helo!
I' v Had something weird happen to a few times now.
Im working on Windows XP with the native - lilypond 2.6.4 through a
jEdit- editor with a lilypond tool .
I'v been using the Ancient notation/ transcription of mensuralnotation
example from the manual as a template for editing renaisance music.
When adding a midi block to the score I get a real weirdo. The midi
comes out as somekind of percussion ensemble with sounds of drums, bels
et.c. instead of normal notes. (It isn't the Lilytools midi listener as
I also listened on Timidity and Realplayer)
Changing the "instrument" with the "\set Staff.midiInstrument = "choir
aahs" isn't working neither with the comand put in the musicinput
strings of the parts nor by putting it in the score block.
I Did also try just run the orginal transcription example as it stands
but adding a midiblock and I got the same weird result.
I don't thing it's my set up as I get a normal midi when I build
something similar from scratch. Cant figure out what in the example
does this. Its anoying as using the example as a template is a
convinient way to get a Incipit with the orginal notation on a score.
Listening to check for errors in orginall or editingis is a necessary
part of the transcripting process as auraly cheching the edditorial
accidentals . ( Making my own template and use that usually ends by my
"loosing" it some where in the files by forgetting where in which
subsubsub folder its stored. So beeing able to copypaste it from the
Lilyhelp in jEdit or from the manual on lilysite is convinient)
