If you are using QuickTime on Mac OS X, as I guess, this is an old known problem:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2004-02/msg00346.html It is not clear to me if Lilypond is not producing correct MIDI output, though - in which case, a bug report should be filed somewhere, probably. In the meantime, you may try some different MIDI player, as Mighty MIDI (http://xmidi.com/apps.html). As we are on this matter, I would like to point out that the following \version "2.9.8" \score { \context StaffGroup << % Staff \new Staff { \time 3/4 \key d \major \tempo 4=100 % Music here... } >> \layout { } \midi { \time 4=110 } } is played with tempo = 100, not 110. Is this a bug?
