Yes, I see what you're doing now. The "scrot" method is what I would use to produce the image that Ben posted, whereas you are lacking the functionality illustrated within that image: ie capture of the blue rectangle. > Frescobaldi also allows you to automatically crop the image to the > boundaries of the music, which is primarily why I use it. Would this imply that you normally capture the entire music, surrounded by white margins? Is it unsuitable to run LP so that it produces a PNG file (rather than PDF) with --png -dresolution=1200 (or whatever value is appropriate)? Programs like GraphicsMagick can crop a PNG image; GM's terminology for cropping in this manner is "trim", ie "removes any edges that are exactly the same color as the corner pixels." Aside: I don't know what your workflow is, but with PNG files (which are rasters) you have to worry about resolution, whereas with a PDF file workflow, the images are vectors and remain sharp regardless of the magnification. There are programs like pdfcrop that crop/trim PDFs in the same manner.
