Removing whitespace before lilypond-books examples?

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

I've just started using lilypond-book and I have to say that I'm
immensely impressed. The integration between LaTeX and LilyPond input
is pretty amazing. I've been rendering some "inline" music examples in
the middle of running text, and I have a question.

First question: is it possible to reduce the amount of whitespace that
lilypond-book renders immediately before such an inline music example?
In the attached image, there's too much space after "sixteenth note"
and before the notation snippet.

Second question: is it possible to *increase* the amount of whitespace
padding immediately *below* the image? You can't really see it in the
attached image, but the very bottom of the notehead is cut off
somewhat.

(I guessed that the --padding commandline option might help with one
or both of these, but --padding seems to no longer work.)
