That’s not the best wording. LilyPond is a very powerful tool, because 
volunteers have invested their time and abilities to create solutions 
for what use cases they saw coming. IIUC, the PNG cropping has been 
designed for use with lilypond-book, at any rate the developers didn’t 
see any need for adjusting the margins. If you want to change it, you 
are very welcome to propose patches, or file a concise enhancement 
request with address@hidden
Certainly there are many (seemingly) small features missing from 
LilyPond’s toolset, but that’s no reason for any kind of accusations. 
Try rephrasing the sentence as ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there were some 
possibility to adjust margins with the PNG cropping mechanism?’ – that 
sounds a lot more appropriate.

Best, Simon
