I was wrong about this one. In principle, it should be possible
to do 
>> lilypond -fpdftex file.ly
>> pdftex file.pdftex
but unfortunately the backend for pdftex hasn't been updated
for a long time, so the result will look terrible (if you
even manage to get something out of Lilypond).

To conclude: the way to go is to first produce a .ps for the 
full document followed by ps2pdf or to use epstopdf + pdflatex
on the output of lilypond-book.
