Hi!
Your code produces errors because you have inserted the \header block
within the \score block (music _expression_ should come first).
Please move \header away (before you \score block).
Therefore (and I don't know why) LilyPond is complaining but is still
producing a PDF (and only a PDF).
Move your \header block outside (before) your \score block and then
the MIDI (and only the MIDI) file is produced. To produce both MIDI
and PDF, add also a \layout block within your score. ;-)
BTW version 2.10.33 is quite old now.
Please consider upgrading to latest stable version (2.12.3) at least.
\version "2.10.33"
\header { title = "Exercise" } % XS: moved outside \score
\score
{
\new Staff {
\time 4/4
