I didn't see your file attached, but try this and see if this helps.  I 
looked at one of my own scores generated from musicXML and found that 
there's a nearly-complete score block at the bottom like this:

% The score definition
\new PianoStaff <<
    \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano 1"
    \set PianoStaff.shortInstrumentName = "Pno. 1"
    \context Staff = "1" <<
        \context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceOne" { \PartPOneVoiceOne }
        >> \context Staff = "2" <<
        \context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceTwo" { \PartPOneVoiceTwo }
        >>
    >>


To get midi output and a pdf score, I enclose this whole thing in a 
\score block, and then place the \midi {} and \layout {} blocks before 
the \score block's closing curly brace, like so:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
    \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano 1"
    \set PianoStaff.shortInstrumentName = "Pno. 1"
    \context Staff = "1" <<
        \context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceOne" { \PartPOneVoiceOne }
        >> \context Staff = "2" <<
        \context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceTwo" { \PartPOneVoiceTwo }
        >>
    >>
  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If this doesn't solve your problem, please try again to attach your 
file.  Best,

Jon
