One good reason is if you want different versions of the score in the
PDF and
in the MIDI, for example if you want to expand all repeats in the MIDI or
if you want to workaround the limitation that the maximum number of
MIDI tracks (corresponding to Staff contexts in LilyPond) is limited.
Then, you certainly want a simple way to tell that a \score block should
only result in MIDI output.
The only inconsistency IMHO, is that you don't need to specify a \layout
block
by default in a \score to get PDF output. Also, this "feature" is well
described in the
section on MIDI output.

Why is layout block needed in the score block if there is also a midi
block? If you remove the midi block, you get the PDF. It is very
inconsistent behaviour. There was a discussion years ago about this, I
don't remember its end.

Your \score{...} block contains a \midi but no \layout, so LilyPond
will only
produce a MIDI file, no PDF file for your example. Are you sure that you
didn't look at an old version of the PDF? When I add a \layout{}
block, I
certainly get a metronome mark in the PDF.

Hi,
I'am a beginner and need some help:
When I put a \tempo 4 = 72 in my score, I don't see it back in the
pdf. I assume that its overwritten by some \override command. But
which one?
thank you for a hint,
best
ole
