Comment #2 on issue 2647 by address@hidden: Doc: Clicking on lilypond
example images to obtain source file
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2647
I think that most of documentation snippets use [verbatim], so it's very
unlikely that someone will click on an example image. I'd be curious to
know what happens in other operating systems..
I'm wondering if the new behaviour is related to a change in the operating
system rather than in the browser. Mime types should be handled by the
system, right?
My blind guess is that some months ago .ly files were not associated to a
specific mime type, so browser handled them as plain text.
The mime type of .ly file - in Debian testing - is text/x-lilypond (see
/usr/share/mime/text/x-lilypond.xml). I don't know if it has been
introduced recently (maybe with the upgrade to Gnome 3?).
Useful links:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-01/msg00491.html
Anyway, if we want the .ly file to be opened inside the browser we should
put this line in lilypond.org.htaccess:
AddType text/plain .ly
However, I'm not sure if it's desirable.
