Very good point! I always say this to all my pupils the first day, not exactly with regards to midi, but to .ly, .log, .ps and .pdf. Even for viewing people, it is annoying that very different file types appear as text icons, for example. IMO this should be an officially recommended practice when you deal with compilers (of which Lily is one) and you have several file types of input and output. -- Francisco Vila.
