My guess is that you run lilypond from frescobaldi on a file that is not
(yet) saved. Lilypond then operates on temporary files, and creates a
temporary pdf. When exiting frecobaldi it asks to save the file, which
applies to the lilypond source only. The temporary pdf is not saved.

To get the pdf from frescobaldi, save the lilypond file (Ctrl-s) first and
then run lilypond (Ctrl-m).
