Yes - that would be the way to go. However, the midi notes will play correctly 
anyway, and the Lilypond output is far better than the staff view in my 
sequencer. There is even a virtue to it as when I am playing along to the 
sequencer and I forget what key I am playing in, all my sharps and flats will 
be right there for me to see. I have actually found myself wishing for this on 
occasion, so all is well. 👍

Using a tool to convert the MIDI file to format 0 (or what it was
called) might help?
