Not on *my* MIDI synthesizer.  Two notes are two notes!  I'm inclined to
be concerned by this because I do a lot of doubling of notes between
different MIDI channels.  Each channel plays on a different patch, or in a
separate monophonic recording run on the same patch, and a doubled note is
quite different from a louder note.

If LilyPond were to start automatically deleting notes because someone
think's it's a bug for unisons to exist between MIDI tracks, it would make
the pile of workarounds I already need to use to get decent MIDI out of
LilyPond, that much worse.
