LilyPond Automatically Deletes Input Files #315

Closed crantila closed 8 years ago

crantila commented 10 years ago

LilyPond includes a commandline option to delete its input file. For the Web server, where .ly source files are nearly always a single-use affair, we should help the clean-up efforts by deleting those source files automatically.

Will this still be an issue once LilyPond had been deprecated?

crantila commented 8 years ago

For LilyPond, no. But it leads to asking the larger question about how intermediate files are handled when outputting from VIS. Maybe you won't have stray LilyPond files any more, but what about MusicXML?

alexandermorgan commented 8 years ago

The question of how we manage stored data is still an important one, even if we have now removed LilyPond. If we want to address the files that are produced by the RBarChart or Dendrogram experimenters, I think we can start with a fresh issue.
