I doubt this is the way a hardcore professional engraving person would do it
though -- most likely they'd output the entire page to PostScript and then do
the crop in a graphics program, which would allow precision of cropping every 
time.

I haven't used Finale or Sibelius in quite a while either, but the other
possibility might be to do the export via their scripting interfaces.
