Hello,

I'm using lilypond to programmatically generate sheet music. I already have
a system in place to crop the SVGs, but now I need to load them in my
software. I could use the default behavior of letting lilypond write to
some file, and then reading it, but file I/O tends to be pretty expensive,
especially when you're doing it in bulk like I am, so I'd like to avoid
that.

My question is this: Is there a way to get lilypond to write the output to
stdout to save on performance, or do I need to use a file as a middleman?
For reference, my current command is:
"lilypond --svg --loglevel=none file.ly"

Thanks,
Felix
