Another way to hack it on Linux:
ln -s /dev/stdout my_file.png
lilypond --png my_file.ly | my_program
rm my_file.png

Is there a way of making lilypond output the generated png to stdout?
My intention is to animate a score in a Python script.
The shortest way is illustrated at

but I haven't tested it. My own method, which uses a named pipe, is
further up the thread, but as it splits across the months, here's the link:

Obviously substitute PNG for SVG.
