Understood, Oliver.  And I'm sorry for crashing in. 


FYI,  I have had the most success in using the pdf-example.org  of this page, 
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-lilypond.html 

as that exports EPS to PDF, not what you're after. 

I've cut  pdf-example.org down and include an import from  midi2ly  as shown here. 

This helps, as the imported ly file has its \layout { .. } block which 
is informative and allows further editing along with the imported score.
