Actually, if you look at the code generated by midi2ly, you will notice 
that each track ends up as a separate variable (see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Organizing-pieces-with-variables#index-assigning-variables) 
which means that you only have to change the lines that put these into a 
\score, in order to obtain separate scores for each track. In order to 
get a separate PDF file for each, you can add a \book block around each 
\score.
