The name "-dtall-page" could perhaps be clearer. It means that all
normal pages are taken and squashed together vertically.

If you also specify -dno-use-paper-size-for-page, each page is
cropped (as opposed to having the full size of the paper),
so you effectively get cropped output.

Maybe this will be clearer to you if you compile

```
\version "2.24.1"

\header {
  title = "Title"
  copyright = "Copyright"
  % try commenting out:
  tagline = ##f
}

% try commenting out:
#(ly:set-option 'use-paper-size-for-page #f)


#(ly:set-option 'tall-page-formats 'pdf)
{ c' \break c' \pageBreak c' \pageBreak c' }
```

-dtall-page-formats does do properly cropped multi-system scores.
I'm not sure what you mean by "in separate image files". There
is one image file per \book. Or did you mean "cropped
multi-*page* scores with one image per page"? (But in that
case, you might have several SVGs/PNGs for each MIDI.)
