Last time I tried, it did not work. See

One additional remark:
Even if these problems are solved, and you are finally able to run
midi2ly, don't expect too much of the results. At this moment midi2ly does
a pretty bad job in converting MIDI to Lilypond code. I have been working
on improvements and will continue to do so, but I first have to improve my
python skills a little bit.
The midi2ly from the current lilypond distributions fails most of the
time when the time signature is not 4/4, it does not properly read key
signatures, it does not like tied notes that pass barlines, to name just
some of the problems.
Due to it's nature MIDI will never be the ideal fileformat to produce
music notation, but even then midi2ly should do a better job in the future
than it currently does. I hope to continue my efforts soon, but if anyone
else wants to pick up the challenge before I do ... please do.
