This means, you have to choose the height and width of the \paper for every snippet?

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?
