What exactly are you talking about?  The file

  https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation.pdf

currently has a size of approx. 6.9MByte.  If I optimize this with the
`pdfsizeopt` script, it can be further reduced to 4.9MByte – we should
probably seriously consider using this script for the PDF files that
are to be downloaded from lilypond.org.

(BTW, the `pdfsizeopt` maintainer looks for a volunteer or some
funding to make a transition to python3.  Another specialty is that
the script needs gs 9.21 or so since newer GS versions dropped some
essential functionality needed for processing.  This sounds very
familiar to our issues with ghostscript...)
