I tried using mrpeach's [midifile] (which you send metro ticks to 
control the recording) together with Lilypond's midi2ly tool, had mixed 
results: due to my inexperience I couldn't figure out how to get midi2ly 
to understand triplet rhythms - I'm sure it's possible - but the other 
problem I had was relating to chords, I only had success with monophonic 
voices each on their own MIDI channel.  It would probably have been 
quicker to transcribe it by hand for my (short and simple) piece, but 
not as fun a learning experience.
