The 2.14.2 version of Lilypond for Intel Macs running OS x 10.6 contains
the shared library midi.so, used by midi2ly.  Unfortunately it contains
32-bit code which is incompatible with Python 2.6 which by default runs
in 64-bit mode, and midi2ly fails with the error message:

ImportError:
dlopen(/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/
current/python/midi.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/current/
python/midi.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I was eventually able to fix this by reading the python man pages and
following the instructions to make it run in 32-bit mode, but it would
be much better if midi.so were built containing both 32- and 64-bit
code.
