Hello Carl-Henrik,

please always keep communication on-list, except if it is really private. Thus others can step in when I can’t help, and the information will be available to others searching the archives.

2) I need to export pngs for my latex documents and i would like the bounding box to be as small as possible. How do i do this?

It’s not quite clear what you want.

When making snippets I dont need the entire A4 paper, i just need the music. The bounding box is the area exported, or cropped if you like. In Sibelius i can check a box and it eliminates all unnecessary white space.

I have two ideas, both of which may not be what you need:
– the -dpreview option: it crops the output to show only the first system, without margins. Of course, this won’t be your choice if you want multiple systems. – Manually adjusting margins (as I already suggested) and paper-height/-width. See <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/page-layout>.

Maybe others know of better methods?

HTH, Simon
