Comment #15 on issue 635 by flamingspinach: PDF automatic deletion is  
unconvenient on GNU/Linux

Aha, as I suspected. So basically lilypond seems to be throwing a  
preemptive error,
as it notices that SumatraPDF has the file open and thus assumes that it  
won't be
able to write to the file. But since (for example) pdfLaTeX seems to be  
able to write
to PDFs that SumatraPDF has open, I suspect that SumatraPDF is one of those  
apps
ahawryluk referred to.

In any case, would it be possible for lilypond to just recklessly try to  
modify the
file, and then throw an error on failure, rather than being overly timid as  
is the
current situation? :)
