How could I know, since the documentation hasn't been updated?
So, it turns out that the following sequence of commands works
even though dvips spits out lots of warnings.

lilypond-book -o out --psfonts out/aaa.fonts.ps aaa.lytex
cd out
latex aaa.tex
dvips -h aaa.fonts.ps aaa.dvi
ps2pdf aaa.ps

If the fonts file is needed to get a useful file, then why do I have
to manually add the flag --psfonts?

Unfortunately, the obvious solution dvips -q didn't help!
