Where have you found that?

This is strange use of make.

You tell make that to make %.pdf from %.ly, you do something that 
doesn't make the said %.pdf.

If your intention is to make PDF/%.pdf and MIDI/%.midi
you probably should use "PDF/%.pdf MIDI/%.midi: %.ly", since then make
can check the timestamps.

If you just want to have a convenient way to create the said file, why 
not use a script.

mv *versionA* folder
for i in A B C D; do mv *version$i*.pdf PDF/version$i; done
