Re: bottom of EPS output cut off (+ size of PDF files)
Hi Andrew, I'd like to add two lines to your bash, but I need assistance: After lilypond $file I'd like to burts the file into multiple pdfs (one per page) and I do this by: pdftk $file.pdf burst This makes one pdf file per page with the following output: originalpdf.pdf originalpdf01.pdf originalpdf02.pdf originalpdf03.pdf ... etc. Can I adapt this line: pdftops -eps $file.pdf to manage the multiple single pages pdf?

Re: bottom of EPS output cut off (+ size of PDF files)
I wrote earlier about the bug in which Lilypond with the eps backend
inaccurately calculates the bounding box, and Andrea provided a
working solution (thank you).
I turned it into this Bash script, which works well for me, though I
don't understand why this process should be necessary.
Intriguingly, when I run this script it produces a cropped PDF image
which is about 10% the size of the PDF produced just by compiling with
lilypond alone.
In one example the full-page lilypond PDF, a single page with one
system of music, was 160K; the PDF produced by lilycrop was 19K!
~/bin/lilycrop:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
file=${1%.ly}
lilypond $file
pdftops -eps $file.pdf
cat $file.eps | ps2eps $file_cut.eps
epstopdf $file_cut.eps
rm $file.eps $file_cut.eps
mv $file_cut.pdf $file.pdf
echo Cropped PDF '$file.pdf' produced from '$1'
