Subject: Change default MIDI file extension to '.mid'
Dear all,
many programs that can read MIDI accept both '.mid' and '.midi' as file
name extension, however many other programs only accept '.mid'.
The only noteworthy reference I could find online is
http://www.midi.org/aboutmidi/tut_midifiles.php
where they explicitly say that «the PC file extension for an SMF [Standard
MIDI File] is .MID» and they never mention '.midi'.
I think that LilyPond should use the most widely accepted '.mid' as
default extension for the MIDI files it produces, instead of current
'.midi'.
This is the default on my Windows Vista PC system. Don't know why, but
that's what appears when I create midi output.
