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

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

Hi I have several devices to show the music on. Rather than try to adjust the size, I measure the visible area on the screen and tell LilyPond to use that as its paper size. I have a 27" screen, so for that, I set the paper size to half the width and get my PDF viewer to show two pages at once.

I recognize the issue. My working method: 1. In lilypond I go for the best options, like staffsize, number of systems per page, number of pages, etcetera. 2. On the iPad I have Forscore for practicing music. To get the best view on about 2-3 feet distance, I use the crop function to minimize

Hi; Perhaps I'm not searching the Lilypond documentation wisely, but I do not see a way to enlarge the entire Lilypond output in scale (staff, notes, text, everything). Perhaps I have to modify the pdf itself? If so, does that decrease the clarity/precision of the presentation? I'd like
