Because, as you might have guessed from the messages lilypond emmits, the
pdf output is generated by converting the ps output.
So 'formats=pdf' just deletes the postscript file after processing.

Maybe because midi isn't a graphical output format? The formats parameter
lets you select one or more file formats for graphical output, midi is a
completely differnt kind of animal, it requires changes to the lilypond
file.
