Hi Francois,
You should really reply to the list so that you get info from all the
people there... I'm a complete novice at this.
However, if you are making stuff for Powerpoint presentations or similar
then you would probably have to get the images with transparent
backgrounds - which lilypond doesn't do, I think - which means editing
them in some sort of image software where you can clip out the bit you
want at the same time... so using the command I sent you is probably ?
the easiest way to go...
also, see the quote from the Notation Reference... which might give you
what you want but again I think the results are with non-transparent
backrounds, although I haven't checked that...
lilypond -f png -dresolution=600 -dclip-systems 'filename'
is the command line I used after reading the following... from the NR
Hope all this helps
Regards
Bill

3.4.1 Extracting fragments of music
It is possible to quote small fragments of a large score directly from
the output. This can be compared to clipping a piece of a paper score
with scissors.
This is done by defining the measures that need to be cut out
separately. For example, including the following definition
\layout {
clip-regions
= #(list
(cons
(make-rhythmic-location 5 1 2)
(make-rhythmic-location 7 3 4)))
}
will extract a fragment starting halfway the fifth measure, ending in
the seventh measure. The meaning of 5 1 2 is: after a 1/2 note in
measure 5, and 7 3 4 after 3 quarter notes in measure 7.
More clip regions can be defined by adding more pairs of
rhythmic-locations to the list.
In order to use this feature, LilyPond must be invoked with
-dclip-systems. The clips are output as EPS files, and are converted to
PDF and PNG if these formats are switched on as well.
For more information on output formats, see Invoking lilypond.

I have now the same question, for a paper input file (in html,
paperblock is not accepted).
This is for making snippets for worships programs. Output is
meaningless (gif, jpg or png) but resolution should be at least 300
dpi. With Bill's answer ok, but the question is to get directly the
pict without having to cut it with gimp.
Thanks in advance
Francois

Hi,
you might try :-
lilypond -f png -dresolution=600 "filename"
where the 600 is an example - whatever you find is appropriate
Hope this helps
Regards
Bill
