New issue 1853 by address@hidden: EPS backend adds small extra  
padding on the right (~0.5-1 mm)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1853

All snippets processed through lilypond-book set an explicit line-with  
(with padding on the left to account for the bar numbers). However, the  
resulting cropped images and PDF files are 0.5-1mm larger than the  
line-width.

To account for this, lilypond-book for now artificially reduced the  
line-with by 1mm. See also the code review:

Once lilypond creates tighter cropped images, this additional fudge should  
be removed again.

The following example (processed as "lilypond test.ly") creates pdf files  
with a width of 160.161mm:

\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
#(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)

\paper {
  indent = 0\mm
  line-width = 160\mm
}


\layout {
  \context { \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
  }
}

\repeat unfold 50 { c'4 }
