Standard EPS bounding boxes are specified with a resolution of 1/72 in (a PostScript point). At 1200dpi, this corresponds to 16 2/3 pixels. If you round downwards on the left, and round upwards on the right border (so as to not lose anything), you'll add about 17 pixels on average. Most EPS processors nowadays understand "HiRes" bounding boxes where dimensions are specified as fractional values. Maybe we should take a look at whether we can produce one of those in the output. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
