Re: Output PDF to stdout

2024-01-12 Thread Curt McDowell
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
