Feature request

[Robert Clausecker]

Hi guys!

I request a feature for the upcoming 2.14.0.

As we have a good support for SVG now, wouldn't it be nice to add a
--svg switch to the program, so that you can write

    lilypond --svg fancystuff.ly

instead of

    lilypond -dbackend=svg fancystuff.ly

which seems to be less intuitive?
I know, that there's a special backend for SVG, but it should make it
simplier for sporadic users who don't read the doc to figure out which
parameter you have to use.


If somebody else already suggested this and the proposal was not
accepted, please just tell me.

    Yours, Robert Clausecker

PS: If it's on the wrong list, tell me too!
