  tuneR writes Wave (.WAV?) files as output; it can also write output
suitable for lilypond input -- and lilypond can write MIDI output.
  
  Bottom line, I think you may have to use an external program to
convert Wave to midi, or something.  It wouldn't be too hard to
write ABC (http://abcnotation.org) output and run it through abc2midi ...

http://rpubs.com/bbolker/3237 is an example of some stuff I was
playing with recently along these lines.

  I don't see any midi input anywhere ... library("sos"); findFn("midi")
doesn't give a lot of hits ...
