Oh wow! That -dpreview trims the file nicely. I was prepared to use
ImageMagik's convert program to trim the whitespace thusly, "convert -trim
filename.png outfile.png" -- but now I don't have to do that.

I guess the question is, since I've got to construct a lot of repetitive
lines of code for each chord, am I doing this in the most efficient manner?
This would be great for a for-loop kind of thing. Do you see any way to
simplify or automate my code? Maybe with macros, or something else?
