Isn't there a box to check 'Always use this application for files of this 
type'? The dialog in question is provided by KDE.

In that case, try setting the default app for Midi files inside Gnome. 
Frescobaldi just 'runs' the file, as if you clicked on it in the file manager.

(It might be confusing, the path and command for timidity in the configuation 
dialog is about timidity running as an ALSA midi client (so you can enter 
music with Rumor and hear the notes as played), not for playing back the 
LilyPond-generated MIDI file.)

If this remains a problem, I'll be glad to alter Frescobaldi and make it 
possible that users enter a path to the desired MIDI player, independent of 
the OS default one.

best regards,
