You can set the line width in LilyPond to be the same as your textwidth in LaTeX (it depends on the options you use in LaTeX - experimentation will get you the result you want; I use 135 normally, and 155 for documents with the 'fullpage' package) and the resulting .png output should require no scaling (I always output at 600 dpi - I don't know if that makes a difference). For incorporating musical examples into essays I have found this preferable to using lilypond-book, which seems more suited to producing score books. Kevin Barry
