Hello Mojca, Although I cannot offer a solid solution for your problem with the instrument playing your midi-file I can suggest a hack or at least a way to get what you want to hear. By accident I found that when I click on a LilyPond midi-file it opens in Finale, giving me the score and the means to play and change the instrument into whatever I like. I guess that as a "LilyPonder" you don't have Finale but maybe one of your friends has it, who can do it for you and save the audio file with the instrument of your choice. - If necessary I could do it for you. If you want to give it a try, send me, to test it, a small part of your score. In will probably be able to return the saved midi-performance on an instrument of your choice (provided it is in the Finale collection of sounds.)
