Yesterday there was also a question about PNG generation. In UNIX/Linux there is a beautiful command "convert" which translates one picture format into another. If you create a single page postscript file mymusic.ps with lilypond, then with the command ... convert mymusic.ps mymusic.png ... you get your PNG file. See "man convert" for (many) details. I just tried it on some one-sheet of lilymusic, on a linux system without lily or the fetafonts installed, and it worked nicely. I guess that on systems with those fonts installed (where I am now I do not have a working lilypond available) you might also do directly convert mymusic.dvi mymusic.png Maybe I am overlooking something, but to me this seems like the simplest conversion trick, easy to remember also. You do not need to use the GIMP. Using the GIMP for picture format conversion is like going to the supermarket with a space ship.
