See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#command-line-options-for-lilypond

If your lilypond examples fit on one stave, then running

lilypond --png -dpreview -dno-print-pages file.ly

will generate file.preview.png, cropped to just that stave. If your 
examples are more than one stave, then remove the -dno-print-pages and 
-dpreview parameters and you will get one PNG image for each page of the 
score, which can be easily cropped with a graphics program.
