I have a main .ly file for a book and individual .ily files for each lesson.
Each .ily file has \layout{} and \midi{} statements.
I can batch-compile the .ily's, such that each midi is saved with the
filename of the .ily file, suppressing the pdf output:
lilypond-dno-print-pages lesson*.ily
This produces midis lesson1.midi, lesson2.midi....etc.
However, I can't find a similar command to suppress midi output when I
compile the book:
>lilypond -dno-midi book.ly
When I compile the book, I get multiple book.midi, book-1.midi...etc,
which are not needed. Currently, I'm just deleting those .midi files
manually.
Is there such a optional command to suppress midi output?
I don't think so.
I've asked the same question years ago:

I see. Well, a "no-midi" compile option was my better hope, but another option
to improve my situation
would be if one could set the file prefix name of midi file within the midi
block of each score:
\midi{
\set Midi.FilePrefix = "lesson2"
}
This way, when I compile the individual lesson2.ily, I get lesson2.midi, and
when compiling book.ly, the .midi's from each separate score are named with
unique stated prefixes,
instead of the generic book.mid, book-1.mid, book-2.mid.
