Just a pragmatic choice. MIDI can specify only one instrument per
track; and a staff is translated to a MIDI track.
If you want different instruments for two voicess, you must put them
on different staffs, ie, you probably need a dedicated midi score
definition:
\score {
\context Staff < \instrI \instrII >
\paper { }
}
\score {
<
\context Staff=I \instrI
\context Staff=II \instrII
>
\midi { }
}
