I checked with the "make web" how to pass these options through lilypond-book to lilypond, and it works great now: It only requires something like 40 MB instead of 700 MB. For those interested, the build commands are now: $ lilypond-book --output=out/ --process="lilypond --backend=eps \ --formats=pdf -dinclude-eps-fonts -dgs-load-fonts" --psfonts slave-songs.tex $ (cd out; pdflatex slave-songs.tex; pdflatex slave-songs.tex; \ cp slave-songs.pdf ../slave-songs.pdf) (I don't know what -dinclude-eps-fonts does, though.) I had to use pdflatex, as using --formats=ps and latex/dvips caused gs to crash on the resulting file. However, PDF is fine for me so I did not investigate further. I might have done the conversions improperly.
