I'm having trouble making this work.  I'm on an Ubuntu edgy system
running lilypond 2.10.  I can run the commands, but the PDF file has
only a page number, not any music or headers or anything.  I get a lot
of error messages of the form:

Non-PDF special ignored!

I can run pdflatex on normal latex (without lilypond-book), and I can
run lilyond-book without the --pdf output and get reasonable output.
Is there something I have to do so that lilypond-book will put
something where pdflatex expects to find it?

Here's my simple test case.  Running "make simplebook.pdf" produces a
five page output file with staves and notes.  Running "make
simplebook-p.pdf" produces 5 blank pages.
