Actually, Lilypond 2.16 is much better at MIDI generation than 2.14.   
In particular, the dynamics support has been improved.  Once you learn  
how to deal with MIDI, it's not very time consuming.

I think measure numbering should be discouraged.  Frescobaldi does a
good job finding the measure in the score and vice versa.  Measure
numbers can be wrong and confuse users.  They add clutter and don't add
functionality.

>> - use \new or \context

I prefer to use \new whenever acceptable.  \context has two meanings
(create a context or add to a context), but \new is unambiguous.
