Hi,
I have asked on the mailinglist how to output the lilypond file to a png
with
transparency and cropped to the score itself. It seems not to be possible
in
lilypond natively, but it would be very usefull.
When creating a book with many, short pieces of music, it is handy to have
high
resolution png's with transparency, so they can be combined with
differently
colored backgrounds and images. Of course there is the option to render to
svg,
and edit the svg file, but that is a step too many when dealing with lot's
of
images.
It would be great to see this feature appear in lilypond to render to png
with
transparency, and the option to crop to the score itself, without page
background, nor margins.
Thanks,
Bart Deruyter
I can't find whether this was ever answered, but a search of the mail lists
shows that this can already be done:
lilypond --png -dpixmap-format=pngalpha file.ly
