That's what I'm doing currently.  But I sometimes forget...

There seem to be two users category who participated to this thread:
1. Those who need only the PDF (and suggested to remove the "temporary" PS
   file).
2. Those who wanted to print the PS file on a PS level 2 printer (and
   couldn't because lilypond produces PS level 3.

Couldn't it be possible that the small step you suggest is performed by the
lilypond script? [Just to prevent wasted paper sheets ;-)].

Best,
