I suppose this must have been reported at some point, but, LP 2.18.2 (stable):
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files
```
To create a MIDI output file from a LilyPond file, insert a \midi block inside
a \score block;
\score {
…music…
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
```
However, the LP version installed from Ubuntu 16.04 packages requires this:
\layout { }
\midi { }
\score {
…music…
}
\layout{} or \midi{} inside the \score causes a syntax error:
```

$ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.18.2
