Have you tried opening the EPS in other programs? Moreover, have you tried

myself know the reason why, but this is required to view a
Lilypond-generated .ps file, so it may well be the same for an .eps file.
This is not the problem. The fact is that the EPS does not contain the
fonts, and hence references a filename (the OTP font source) that is not
present. Also, the bounding box is wrong. Hence the ifrts question:
what is the correct way to generate an EPS file (the music piece is
only two staves, so I do not want the output area to cover the whole
A4 page, but only the area occupied by the music.
try
lilypond -b eps bla.ly
and set
tagline = ##f
in the
\header {}
the bla.eps file contains fonts depending on the program initialization.
Use the -dno-gs-font-load to force font embedding.
Graham, maybe this should be mentioned (esp. the tagline trick) in the
manual?
You can also run
-deps-font-include
which will cause the individual per-system EPS files to contain fonts.
