Re: lilypond-book --pdf doesn't work for me

[Mats Bengtsson]

lilypond-book --pdf will certainly generate .pdf versions of all the
files that are included with \includegraphics. My guess is that you didn't
clean your old lily-*.eps files, which means that lilypond-book is "clever"
enough to not rerun lilypond on the scores but stupid enough to not
realize that this means that the .pdf versions of all these files don't 
exist.

So, the simple solution should be to just clear your out/ directory.

In general, the trick to make a latex file that is compliant with both
ordinary latex and pdflatex is to avoid any specific options like [dvips]
in the input and also to exclude the extension of any graphics files to
include with \includegraphics. In that way, the LaTeX packages will
figure out the correct options automatically and \includegraphics will
use .eps files when you run ordinary latex and .pdf or .png or .jpg
files when you run pdflatex.
