I guess this would be a user who has myfile.ly and decides to use
denemo, and asks for denemo to create myfile.pdf, in doing this the
myfile.ly will be overwritten?
If that is the case, then, yes, it doesn't sound too good. We would need
either to check for all the intermediate files before starting and get
the user to confirm their destruction or tell LilyPond to use
temporaries for all the intermediates - e.g. it may be possible to tell
it to use pipes...
