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 to implement is
cat source.ly | lintLy | lilypond - | optimizePDF > score.pdf
Currently lilypond engraves PDF on disk, so a PDF optimizer has to read,
optimize, and substitute PDF on disk.

Thank you,
Vlad
