In 2.12, the dimensions of the full-page output are proportionately accurate, but IIRC, the units are always pixels instead of the intended units. > Is there a way to have LilyPond output SVG images without the border? Yes, but right now you can only use -dpreview: $ lilypond -dbackend=svg -dpreview file.ly This works just as you would expect for the EPS backend.
