Wow, I was looking for something like this, now I know how to create 
the .png of a minimal example without having to use Gimp:

lilypond -fpng -dpreview file.ly

NB: both normal and preview output files are created, the preview file 
(the cropped one) is saved with a .preview.png suffix.

Thanks Patrick
