This is a nice font! I like it.

This means, you have to choose the height and width of the \paper for
every snippet? I am thinking about small scores of one or two measures
or perhaps two lines.

I am always interested in how others (especially experts like you) do
things with lilypond and in further insights. But what you described
here, is fully sufficient to answer my question.
What I still don't get is how the size of the lilypond snippet is set
without much try-and-error to produce a pdf with equal and consistent
whitespace around each snippet. Or do you only include full pdf pages?
Thanks again,
Joram
