The procedure recommended in the recent versions of the
docs is:
lilypond-book --pdf yourfile.lytex
pdflatex yourfile.tex

which produces an A5 document with your example. In fact, the
--psfonts flag doesn't even work with the latest LilyPond version,
so you must use some older one, right?

In your makefile below, I notice that you didn't include the
-t a5 flag to dvips. Otherwise, it works well (when I try it
with LilyPond version 2.10).

Finally, I would recommend to replace the lines

\makeatletter
\pdfpagewidth=\paperwidth
\pdfpageheight=\paperheight

by
\usepackage{hyperref}
which will do the same and much more. It even seems that
you don't need the -ta5 flag to dvips, then.
