Hello Vlad,
You will not avoid intermediate files in any case, as Lilypond with gs output
will generate ps code, which is then turned into a pdf. If you want to pipe
PDFs for convenience you might create a wrapper say plilypond in the search
path doing something like this:
#!/bin/bash
t=$(mkt

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 ex

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 be ext

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 throu

Is that issue real? In Linux and most other operating systems,
intermediate "files" will be written
