That said, I wouldn't mind suggestions for some good OpenSource (GUI)
MIDI editors. I have a bunch of weird MIDI files that I would like to
turn into scores. They sound OK, but I'm not exactly sure if they were
just obfuscated on purpose or if they are recordings of "human
players" and thus the timings are some horrible (i)rational numbers.

A friend of mine also has a midi interface for her accordion and I'm
thinking of asking her to play some of the songs she knows and then
turn them into nicely typeset scores (hoping that there is a way to do
that faster than by asking her to play it slowly and write everything
down as she plays).

I did try to play with different settings of midi2ly, but didn't yet
find the magic recipe for fixing the timing of those (obfuscated?)
MIDIs.

I checked some software websites, but the software usually has to be
compiled/packaged first (I need it for OS X), so I better pick the
best one from the start before spending hours resolving all
dependencies and reporting all the compile problems upstream :)

Reasonably priced commercial software would also be fine.

I haven't tried this one, but it looks very nice and has a convenient quantization function to clean things up for you. It's cross-platform for both Windows and Linux:
