Have you actually tried this? LilyPond appends ".pdf" to the output
filename (and ".midi"). If you try to make the fifo ending in ".pdf",
you find lilypond removes the fifo before writing a new file. For the
same reasons, the output file cannot be /dev/stdout. Maybe you could
write something

My motivation behind using lilypond
Thank you very much for your thoughts!
I expected that the PDF output to stdout would be difficult to implement
due to multiple Lilypond backends, and, probably, is not a real bottleneck
in PDF generation. It is nice to know that intermediary files are already
handled by a FS cache, and can

This doesn't exist, sorry. It wouldn't be *that* straightforward to implement,
because there are multiple code paths for output (GhostScript via API,
GhostScript
via subprocess, SVG backend and Cairo). I'm not even sure that direct PDF output
in GhostScript's PS → PDF conversion is not going

Is that issue real? In Linux and most other operating systems,
intermediate "files" will be written
Hi,
I know that lilypond can receive a source.ly file from the stdin by
using lilypond
-. Is it possible for lilypond to output PDF to the stdout?
My motivation behind using lilypond in a pipeline is to speed up PDF
generation by avoiding storing intermediary files on disk. The pipeline I'd
like
