Following up on this with a solution based on Han-Wen's comments in that issue:
I can replace `#(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)` with: ``` #(ly:set-option 'separate-page-formats 'eps,png,pdf) #(ly:set-option 'use-paper-size-for-page #f) ``` And that restores the old behaviour. I'm not sure if it should be socialised or not. The previous way of doing it didn't make any more sense.
