I just want to caution you about how difficult this task will be.  The
PDF output does contain a link for each note that tells you where, in
the original LilyPond input file, that note or chord originated.  It
does NOT tell you the note's pitch or duration, and that information is
not trivially derivable from the original source, either.  There's no
good way to line up the PDF with the MIDI.
