I assume that you're on windows, so I can't tell you exactly how to do this,
but I would write a simple script that runs lilypond and then renames the
file.

If you use bash (with cygwin), then I suggest something like this:

-----
#!/bin/sh
ly2dvi $1.ly
mv $1.mid $1.midi
-----

When you run that script, don't include the ".ly" part of your filename.

You'll need to modify that script to make it work on windows, but hopefully
it'll get you started.
