Hi, I've been compiling some Mutopia submissions with LilyPond 1.7 recently, and have found that 'ly2dvi --preview' doesn't appear to be working properly in the most recent versions, including 1.7.20.
It seems to produce a PNG image of the whole of the first page, rather than just of the first line. If this is intentional, then maybe the description should be changed. 'ly2dvi --help' currently says that --preview gives an image of 'the first system' which isn't very clear to me. I don't know how hard it would be to do, but it would be a huge help for us if the Lilypond 1.6 --preview behaviour could be reimplemented in LilyPond 1.7 [an image *just* of the first line, no titles or anything]. I'm not bothered if it's given a different name, for example --small-preview, but it saved us a lot of time making the preview images for Mutopia, as it removed the need to mess around with the Gimp. What would be even better is if one of these images was produced for each "section" of the .ly file (I'm not sure of the proper name for these sections), in the same way that a MIDI file is produced for each section. I don't know if this is easily achievable, though.
