Whenever I needs images to include in a LaTeX document or on a webpage, I 
simply use the following command call:

LILYPOND_LOGLEVEL=BASIC lilypond -drelative-includes -dbackend=eps \
-dpreview -dno-aux-files --pdf --png -dpixmap-format=pngalpha -o out/ \
FILENAME.ly

This creates FILENAME.{pdf,eps} and FILENAME.preview.{eps,pdf,png} in the out/ 
directory. -dpreview ensures that the *.preview.* images are cropped, and -
dpixmap-format=pngalpha makes the background of the png images transparent.

There's no need to specify a line width (i.e. paper size) for single-line 
snippets, because one-line snippets are layed out with ragged-right. 

Cheers,
Reinhold
