Save, say as handel.ly <http://handel.ly> . Run lilypond on this.
The pdf looks exactly as it
says in the manual. But run midi2ly on the midi file. This gives
handel-midi.ly <http://handel-midi.ly>
Now run lilypond on that file and 3 lines of lyrics have
disappeared. With more
complicated lyrics, you get error messages about simultaneous lyrics.
midi2ly and other conversion tools are known to be incomplete, so you
can’t expect such a workflow to return satisfying results in all
cases/without manual adjustment.
And, for future cases: You are more likely to get help if you actually
include example files, i.e. in this case the handel.midi and
handel-midi.ly files as attachments.
