So here is what I have found...

The command `lilypond -fpng file.ly' uses the PS backend by default,
and when Ghostscript tries to crop a single-page PS file with
-dEPSCrop, it defaults to U.S. Letter dimensions because there is no
BoundingBox in a PS file.

As a workaround, for one-page scores, try using

  $ lilypond -dbackend=eps -fpng file.ly

and for multiple-page scores, use

  $ lilypond -fpng file.ly


Hopefully this works for you.

Thanks,
Patrick
