Generating cropped PDFs

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

I would occasionally like to create cropped PDFs (either entirely
cropped or with some reasonable/configurable margin) without having to
guess the size of the paper for each snippet.

I found a page which seems to contain reasonable answers:

<http://superuser.com/questions/96970/lilypond-is-there-a-way-to-auto-crop-the-paper>

but:

1.) Even if both -dpreview and \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
from the first answer create cropped PDFs, the fonts are screwed up (I
get some very weird ugly font). I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

2.) The "convert" command from ImageMagick rasterizes the PDF.

3.) I don't want PNGs.

Using "pdfcrop" from TeX Live does the trick, but I wonder if there is
any obvious way to do it from within lilypond that I overlooked (then
I could also configure the margin).

Thank you,
    Mojca
