[lily4jedit-user] Files in the MIDI viewer not updating:

[Stuart S. <stu...@gm...>]

Dear All:
I have been using various stable versions of LilyPondTool with various
versions of jEdit and LilyPond for various versions of Mac OS X and
Windows. They ALL have the same bug. Suppose I create a file named
abc.ly with /midi { }. The file named abc.mid is overwritten each time
LilyPondTool runs on abc.ly. By contrast, the file abc.midi, which
LilyPondTool's MIDI viewer relies on, is created once and never
overwritten. The most commonly recognized MIDI file extension for
files without lyrics has been .mid for as long as I have been aware of
MIDI, that is, since Windows 3.x. I would believe that it is a simple
task to modify the MIDI viewer's source code so that it reads .mid
files instead of .midi files, If somebody could forward this to the
attention of the original developer of the MIDI viewer part of
LilyPondTool, then I'd be eternally grateful. I have already posted
this on the Bugs tracker. Although SourceForge is SUPPOSED to be the
best place to report bugs, in practice it never works. Large numbers
of tickets on the Bugs tracker go unanswered and are closed
automatically because of idling. I therefore think it prudent to place
this somewhere where I am nearly guaranteed to get a response. Thank
you!
