There is also a midi2ly that comes with Lilypond and denemo. It has
features like quantization and triplet support. Richard maybe someday we
can make a frontend for this since we ship it with denemo anyway. So in the
help of midi2y I got this example:

midi2ly --key=-2:1 --duration-quant=32 --allow-tuplet=4*2/3
--allow-tuplet=2*4/3 foo.midi

I assume this means that the notes are quantized to fit a 32nd note grid. I
am not sure about the triplet -t, --allow-tuplet=DUR*NUM/DEN allow tuplet
durations DUR*NUM/DEN

I have not tested this midi2ly much yet.
