Perhaps I'm wrong, and the whole thing is a non-issue: ghostscript can
compute the exact bounding box of an EPS file, AFAIK, taking care of
the real dimensions of all glyphs (relying on the outlines instead of
the metrics). However, I think this is not yet correctly implemented
in lilypond's EPS->PNG routines since I still see cutoffs in PNG
images, for example the digit 2 in the second image in section 5.2.3
of the notation reference. A really severe cut off is given in the
snippet file
using-the--tweak-command-to-tweak-individual-grobs.ly
(this is wrong even in the EPS).
And the cutoffs in section 1.1.3, subsection `Automatic Accidentals',
look like a real bug in lilypond since this must not happen IMHO...
