How did you get your LilyPond fragments?
The only way I know would be to cut them from whole PDF pages with
Acrobat.
Ah, I understand the point.
Yes, in my new composition I create a graph connecting some musical
fragment (I don't wanna bore yuo too much with these details). In any
case, I use Context as general typesetting environment, Metafun as
vectorial, scalable, scriptable drawing engine, and lilypond as
notation generator.
The idea is to produce lily files, to render them, to include them in a
metafun drawing, where I can clip and place them opportunely, and to
render context files. My program is written in Python.
But, it's true, I got involved in the problem of cropping PDFs output
by lily (from the a6 format I chose). I solved using externalfigure
clip in metafun.
I tried Imagemagik: it crops the PDFs but it seems that it rasterizes
the image.
So, what can one use to crop a pdf? Preview in macosx, as acrobat, does
the job, but I'd prefer too to use something from the command line.
But I'm only a newbie (and I don't really feel like learning Scheme).
I don't want, too. I'd like to have python :)
Here are two of the resulting scores (not totally finished yet)

and one of the context file

PS: ah, thanks to the list, without support I won't be able to draw a
line...
