Re: paper block for little snippets for webpublishing

[Bill Mooney]

Hi Francois,
You should really reply to the list so that you get info from all the 
people there... I'm a complete novice at this.
However, if you are making stuff for Powerpoint presentations or similar 
then you would probably have to get the images with transparent 
backgrounds - which lilypond doesn't do, I think - which means editing 
them in some sort of image software where you can clip out the bit you 
want at the same time... so using the command I sent you is probably ? 
the easiest way to go...

also, see the quote from the Notation Reference... which might give you 
what you want but again I think the results are with non-transparent 
backrounds, although I haven't checked that...

lilypond -f png -dresolution=600 -dclip-systems 'filename'

is the command line I used after reading the following... from the NR

Hope all this helps
Regards
Bill

3.4.1 Extracting fragments of music

It is possible to quote small fragments of a large score directly from 
the output. This can be compared to clipping a piece of a paper score 
with scissors.

This is done by defining the measures that need to be cut out 
separately. For example, including the following definition

\layout {
  clip-regions
  = #(list
      (cons
       (make-rhythmic-location 5 1 2)
       (make-rhythmic-location 7 3 4)))
}

will extract a fragment starting halfway the fifth measure, ending in 
the seventh measure. The meaning of 5 1 2 is: after a 1/2 note in 
measure 5, and 7 3 4 after 3 quarter notes in measure 7.

More clip regions can be defined by adding more pairs of 
rhythmic-locations to the list.

In order to use this feature, LilyPond must be invoked with 
-dclip-systems. The clips are output as EPS files, and are converted to 
PDF and PNG if these formats are switched on as well.

For more information on output formats, see Invoking lilypond.
