Does that mean, that Lilypond generates different MIDI-file if
it is feed with the same notes but different composer names?
Or does it react on the year of birth and year of death of the
composer? Or does it typeset dotted eights followed by 1/16th
over 1/8th triplets in another fashion if the music is by
Bach, Beethoven or Goodman?

You are right: Lilypond is not good at interpreting music.
