dear MAP
(also doing my phD with LyX)
in the terminal (well, actually in textmate...) i do:
lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts
filename.ly
which generates a clipped eps and pdf file which i then import into lyx

Hello, I need to use several example (90% are tiny fragments) of
music, many

I'ma latex user and I DON'T want to use lilypond-book, because it's
too
difficoult to implement in LyX 1.6.1 (the editor I use) if one uses
some
complex external-pass packages such for example BibLaTeX.
Anyway, I can bypass the use of lilypond-book by using normal
lilypond. And
here come my question:
I can insert a Lilypond file in my LyX document, but it get it "as
it is"
and paste it in the page. That means it will be as big as a page.
One solution would be to play with page and music dimensions and
then zoom
in/out the image in the document, but this is the dirty way.
The best solution is that Lilypond could produce a pdf or ps file
that is
already clipped of all white space, left, right, top and bottom.
I found an old post where someone explain how to have the vertical
space
clipped with this trick:
\header{
copyright = "" tagline = ""}
as well as
\paper{ragged-right=##t}
(or ragged-last=##t if the excerpt is longer than 1 line) but left
and right space is still present and depends on the page size used
by Lilypond.
Is there a way to have Lilypond CLIP all blank space around and
produce a
pdf or ps file of the same size of the music written?
Thanks

Patrick Horgan and I wrote a program (actually a long shell script)
that does exactly what you want, but it only works on Linux and Mac
so far. Depending on your computer skills, you might be able to make
it work on Windows using Cygwin--I've experimented a bit with this
but I'm terrible on Windows and don't have the time to fiddle with
it. I'm attaching the script for you in case you want to try it
out. The main dependency is the netbpm suite of image manipulation
tools, which is available freely for Windows.
Alternatively you could make a Linux partition or a Wubi Linux
installation on your XP machine and run the program while booted
into Linux. Best of luck :)
