Just out of curiosity: have you tried first converting the MIDI to MusicXML (using one of the various available tools), then converting that MusicXML to LilyPond using either musicxml2ly or [xml2ly](https://github.com/jacques-menu/musicformats)? I'd expect this to produce much better results than midi2ly. > Presumably I could then scroll the resulting PNG file to generate video > frames. But would I know the pixel offsets of notes/rests within each measure? You need some Scheme code for that. See [here](https://github.com/aspiers/ly2video/blob/41364ad9c5d512c502de2c9b06f7878bd88b77e1/ly2video/cli.py#L1326) for what ly2video uses.
