I'm not understanding what you're saying, could you say it a different
way?  Why would you use Frescobaldi to "run commandline for lilypond",
why wouldn't you just run from the command line?

Gimp and Inkscape are free and available in Windows, MacOs and Linux.

I don’t know GIMP, Inkscape, I will search if these programs are available for window 10? Even if they are, learning curve will occurs.

That means you convert a proper vector PDF into pixels. Don’t do that. 
It makes no sense.

I have always used Gimp to convert music PDFs to EPS, whether the PDF was
generated by Lilypond (via Frescobaldi) or by gabc. Here is a link to a
document I wrote several years ago detailing how to do that:

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

This does not answer the question directly... but suggests a solution without 
command line.

It is indeed easy to create EPS and/or SVG files from the PDF using Inkscape. You can then 
edit the file, and choose any part you want to include. It works perfecty with PDF files 
produced by LilyPond.


As an example, in an ongoing project to test frequencies 
, I created 
a music sheet with Frescobaldi, saved it in PDF, and opend the PDF resulting file with 
Inkscape. Then I saved the parts I wanted as SVG (actually, optimized SVG) to include them 
as images in my web page (using this easy code : 


No need to use the command line to do that... I am sure you could do the same to create 
EPS image files (I did not test it, though).

Hi Ming,

go to the Lilypond menu and select "Engrave custom", then select EPS
in the "Output format" dropdown.
