Hi Peter,
Thanks. I may not need to involve midi. There is a discussion on the
Linux audio list about connecting electronic gear to machines...which I
need to read.
I am not a big fan of midi sound quality, but as you say manually
putting all the parts into lillypond may have its drawbacks.
I have been under the impression that abc notation comes with packages
that might a low the audio say one track at a time to be converted into
their program and thereby into sheep form.
Are you aware of this package?
lots of options though, which is what I hope.

There are other notation languages for Linux,
Like muscript, for example :-)

with its associated midi2muscript utility:

It should be possible to convert muscript into MusicXML
and thence into lilypond.
however the problems in converting MIDI files to a score will be
similar. ... I see comments that it's a lot of trouble to the point
that it's easier to input manually.
Yeah, mostly true, if that's an option;
but sometimes the input is an improvisation.
It's very cheap and easy in MIDI to improvise for an hour,
record it, and then select the best minute to use in some score...
MIDI-to-score is not too bad, relatively easy to tidy up; but it's
still usually not practical to convert an _audio_ recording into
score form algorithmically, especially with several instruments.
You can try the aubio toolkit: aubionotes, aubioonset, aubiopitch,
aubiotrack and so on. On debian that's the aubio-tools package.
