My workflow consists almost exclusively of producing musical examples for
including in Latex. I have the following code in a style file that will
crop things as small as possible. After that you will have to adjust the
line width manually (depending on your latex document's \textwidth).
#(ly:set-option 'backend 'eps)
#(ly:set-option 'aux-files #f)
\paper {
left-margin = 0
right-margin = 0
oddFooterMarkup=##f
oddHeaderMarkup=##f
indent = 0
}
