Yes, but pstopdf relies on existance of ghostscript in path. pstopdf is just a wrapper. If you don't have ghostscript installed, this is unlikely to work.
I know, but Vyatcheslav said, pstopdf would say "nothing", and that would be too less, even if GS isn't installed.
But ... I had some impression that lilypond is able to generate pdfs on
the fly?
It has GS compiled in (or as a library or the like), but unfortunately it can't generate PDF snippets, only whole pages.
Not true on my Windows machine. After every run of LP there is a filename-lilypond-1-1.pdf with exactly the same size as the pstopdf generated. Lilypond writes: ... Systeme erstellen... Layout nach »lilytest-lilypond-1-1.eps« ausgeben... Konvertierung nach »./lilytest-lilypond-1-1.pdf«... Layout nach »lilytest-lilypond-1.eps« ausgeben... Konvertierung nach »./lilytest-lilypond-1.pdf«... ...
And it generates always PostScript first (after a normal LP run you've a useless .ps file).
I get two .eps: filename-lilypond-1.eps and filename-lilypond-1-1.eps.
EPS snippets (that we use here) were a special feature for the LaTeX "lilypond-book" process, that's why there were even more junk files created before v.12.2
