Re: MIDI files are overwritten when using \book

[Mats Bengtsson]

I forward it to bug-lilypond as it at least is an incompatibility
with earlier versions.

One way to get midi files with different names is to include each \score
in a separate \book{...}. However, then you will also get a separate
.pdf file for each score, which maybe is not what you want.
