I'm not sure this exists for mac as well, but on linux you could use pdfcrop to cut the white areas away. I think there must be a source of that program somewhere (it's command line based, pretty simple, but pretty effective). Be sure you include

\header{        
copyright = ""
tagline = ""}

in your file since otherwise pdfcrop will keep the space between the music fragment and the bottom line.

Best regards,
John

P.S. There could be some spacing problems. I posted on that some days ago, but unfortunately didn't get a reply...

Hi,

I've been playing with Lilypond since about yesterday so I'm pretty new.
I need a few figures for my thesis and the pdf output of lilypond on mac
os x is pretty nifty. Except I can't coax it into just giving me a pdf
of the music itself. I always get empty space as if it were trying to
fill the page. Is there any way to tell Lilypond to generate just the
music fragment and nothing else?

My current work around is to use lilypond-book on a test tex file. Once
it generates the eps files, I manually turn them into pdf to include in
my thesis. I was hoping for a better way.
