As far as I know there is no option offered by LilyPond to do so, but
you might want to look at pdftk: http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/
You need a document with a blank page in the size of your sheets
(OpenOffice is your friend), then run
pdftk blank.pdf <music.pdf> cat output <music-with-blank.pdf>
Besides, you can also extract parts of PDFs, for example to manually
duplex and want to split your document in odd and even pages, or edit
the meta tags of the file. It's just a great tool.
