I know, but Vyatcheslav said, pstopdf would say "nothing", and that
would be too less, even if GS isn't installed.

It has GS compiled in (or as a library or the like), but unfortunately
it can't generate PDF snippets, only whole pages.
And it generates always PostScript first (after a normal LP run you've
a useless .ps file).
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
