On a Windows command prompt you could typset with the commandline

  cls && lilypond somenotes.ly

Using the command line history this gives a clean screen for each run of 
Lilypond. If you have a kind of command line, you would probably use

   clear && lilypond somenotes.ly

to get the same result.
