Thank you very much, but first, it didn't work with lilypond 2.12.3 so I
did a HUGE upgrade which brought Gnome 3 ( so I decided to switch to
XFCE4 ) and a lot of funny things which usually come with upgrades, and
then I finally got lilypond 2.14.3, YES !

Your solution works well with my tiny example, but it's harder in real
life : In the score I'm writing, I can't put each score in a separate
book because this is a suite and in a suite, each piece follows ( "suit"
in french, this is why it's called a "suite" ) the  previous. They must
be in the same book !

Perhaps there are no lilypond command to do that and I should use a
makefile to rename my MIDI files ?
