Currently, this is hardcoded in the source file scm/lily-library.scm.
The modification you can make is what number to start at. You can do
this by setting `output-count'.
For example, if you say
#(set! output-count 5)
then your files will be named
filename-5.pdf
filename-6.pdf
filename-7.pdf
etc...
That being said, this is an interesting issue. There *needs* to be an
automated naming convention by default, or else each successive book
will overwrite the previous one.
But it would be nice to have an option to override the file-name for
any arbitrary book. Something like
\book {
\paper {
output-file-name = "Blah"
}
\score {
...
}
}
and this particular book would create "Blah.ps" and "Blah.pdf".
