Update: If I insert a \midi {} command in my .ly file, the midi file  
gets generated but lilypond stops at the error message after that and  
the .ps/.pdf files never get generated.

With verbose mode on in lilypond, the place where the process breaks  
if the midi command is live is:

MIDI output to `satb.midi'...Track... [0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]]
warning: cannot find file: `'
error: failed files: ""

and if the midi command is commented out, it's:

Converting to `./satb.pdf'...

I don't suppose there's any way to get lilypond to run the .ps/.pdf  
export before it runs the midi export, so that I can get all three :(

For the moment, I'm commenting out the \midi {} command while checking  
the pdf output.
