Before this goes much further, please realize that this is a matter of
opinion. There is no unambiguously correct answer to this issue. The
fact is that lilypond writes the output to stderr, and that's the way it
is. As long as you know that, there's no problem.
Most folks with Unix command-line experience, when noticing that the
output wasn't caught in stdout, would automatically try stderr (2>) next.
