Re: FW: [frogs] Re: Patching the output file naming code (Was: thanks to whomever put this in the LSR...)

[Mats Bengtsson]

For PDF output, please remember that you get a single PDF for each 
\book{} block, so
in that case there's no reason to do the setting per \score or \bookpart.
However, for MIDI the situation is different, since you get a separate 
MIDI file for each
\score block, so for this reason it makes to allow for separate settings 
in \paper and \midi.
However, it would also make sense that the setting done for the PDF file 
name also is used
as the default prefix for the MIDI files, right?
