Yes, I use Frescobaldi to generate the MIDI, and I use Windows Media Player
to listen to the midi file.

This is the process:
- I open the .ly with Frescobaldi
- Crtl + M to generate the pdf (music sheet) and the MIDI file
- I listen to the midi file with WMP
- I close WMP
- I modify the .ly file inside Frecobaldi (for instance, I add another note)
- Press Crtl+M
- The midi file is not overwritten

So... I close Frescobaldi, delete the midi file and reopen the .ly file.
Then I press Crtl+M and then a new midi file is generated. I'd rather not
having to close Frecobaldi to generate a new midi, makes my work slower.

Any ideas?

Best regards
