Re: smallest possible bounding box

[Carl-Henrik Buschmann]

Kevin, please humor a LP novice: Let us say my file was the one you would use in a .tex. What would you do?

My workflow consists almost exclusively of producing musical examples for including in Latex. I have the following code in a style file that will crop things as small as possible. After that you will have to adjust the line width manually (depending on your latex document's \textwidth).

#(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)

#(ly:set-option 'aux-files #f)

\paper {

  left-margin = 0

  right-margin = 0

  oddFooterMarkup=##f

  oddHeaderMarkup=##f

  indent = 0

}

Good suggestion. This of course works fine but it means manual labor and guessing.  What is the point of a computer if it cannot do this for us?

I tried -dpreview but could not get it to work. Help a poor noob, please.

The command line would be
$lilypond -dpreview INPUTFILE.ly
In case you use Frescobaldi, you can do it via the ‘Lilypond/Engrave (custom)’ dialogue.

Hi Carl-Henrik,

Simply defined the 'paper' dimension you'd like :

\paper {
  paper-height = 150
  paper-width = 50
}

E.g. :

\version "2.19.35"

%-------------------------------
% Global variables
%-------------------------------
global = {
  \time 4/4
  \key c \major
}

%-------------------------------
% Music
%-------------------------------
NRT = \relative {
  \global
  \clef G
  \hideNotes
  c' d e
}

high = \relative {
  \global
  \clef G
  \hideNotes
  c' d e
}

low = \relative {
  \global
  \clef F
  \hideNotes
  c d e
}

%-------------------------------
% Score
%-------------------------------

\paper {
  paper-height = 150
  paper-width = 50
  top-margin = 0
  bottom-margin = 0
  left-margin = 0
  right-margin = 0
  indent = 22
}

\header {
  tagline = ""
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Analysis" }
      { \NRT }
    \new GrandStaff \with { instrumentName = "Woodwind" } <<
      \new Staff { \high }
      \new Staff { \low }
    >>
    \new GrandStaff \with { instrumentName = "Brass" } <<
      \new Staff { \high }
      \new Staff { \low }
    >>
    \new GrandStaff \with { instrumentName = "Strings" } <<
      \new Staff { \high }
      \new Staff { \low }
    >>
    \new GrandStaff \with {
      instrumentName = \markup \right-column {
        "Piano"
        "Aux."
        }
      } <<
      \new Staff { \high }
      \new Staff { \low }
    >>
  >>

%-------------------------------
% Layout
%-------------------------------
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      timing = ##f
    }
    \context {
      \GrandStaff
      \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT %% or 1
    }
    \context {
      \Staff
      \omit TimeSignature
      \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT %% or 1
    }
  }
}

    When making snippets I dont need the entire A4 paper, i just need
    the music. The bounding box is the area exported, or cropped if
    you like. In Sibelius i can check a box and it eliminates all
    unnecessary white space.
