Hi, I know this feature has been requested & flamed before, but.. I think it would be useful with a --no-midi option. The reason raised the previous request, was that --no-midi would be time saving, which I agree isn't a very strong reason by itself. But I have 3 more reasons: 1) It feels better to be able to control which files the lilypond script (most command-line programs are that way). This would be useful if you are invoking lilypond from a bash script, for example. 2) If lilypond-bin has annoying bugs in its midi output pass, e.g. <flame> it crashes or spits out loads of unmotivated warnings </flame> :), then you may want to disable that pass. 3) It looks good to have a --no-midi option, now that there are --no-ps and --no-pdf options already (to me, those options seem to be about as motivated as --no-midi, as they save about as much time & have a similar effect on the output).
The reason why I really want this option right now, is that I want to run a script on many .ly files. And I want to redirect stdin, which makes lily crash on most of these files.
