Hi, I had exactly the same problem the other day, also using 2.6.4 Windows
XP native.  The only way I could solve it was by switching to a regular SATB
choir format (i.e. using ChoirStaff instead of StaffGroup).  I have no idea
why that makes a difference, and I don't know if that will work for you in
terms of the visual layout.

Helo!

I' v Had something weird happen to  a few times now.
Im working  on Windows XP with the native - lilypond 2.6.4  through a 
jEdit- editor with a lilypond tool .

I'v been using the Ancient notation/  transcription  of mensuralnotation 
example from the manual as a template for editing  renaisance music. 
When adding a midi block to the score I get a real weirdo. The midi 
comes out as somekind of percussion ensemble with sounds of drums, bels 
et.c. instead of normal notes. (It isn't the Lilytools midi listener as 
I also  listened  on Timidity and Realplayer)

Changing the "instrument" with the "\set Staff.midiInstrument = "choir 
aahs"  isn't working neither with the comand put in the musicinput 
strings of the parts nor by putting it in the score block.

I Did also try just run the orginal transcription example as it stands 
but adding a midiblock  and I got the same weird result.

I don't thing it's my set up as I get a normal midi when I build 
something similar  from scratch.  Cant figure out what in the example 
does this. Its  anoying as using the example as a template is a 
convinient way to get a Incipit with the orginal notation on a score.  
Listening to check for errors in orginall or editingis is a necessary 
part of  the transcripting process as  auraly cheching the edditorial 
accidentals . ( Making my own template and use that usually ends by my 
"loosing" it some where in the files by forgetting where in which 
subsubsub folder its stored. So beeing able to copypaste it from the 
Lilyhelp in jEdit or from the manual on lilysite is convinient)
