OK, let me refine the question. If it isn't using stdout, is there a
good reason why is it using something else? Or is it just a bug?
hjh
As a general rule, Unix orientated programs direct the main output of the
program to stdout, and other informative messages to stderr. The main
output of lilypond is the pdf, which actually goes to a file. The
informative messages (e.g. a list of fonts) continue to adopt the principle
of going to stderr.
