That looks like a clear bug to me. However, if you compare the size of the
PDF files after running ps2pdf, the difference is minimal.
Also, I would recommend to use
lilypond-book --pdf ...
pdflatex ...
instead of the latex + dvips + ps2pdf route. Actually, because of some bugs,
the pdflatex version is the only one that works on Windows.

Hi

In lilypond (lilypond-book) v2.8.8 an exapmle file is splitted into 4
eps-files:
*-1.eps   11KB
*-2.eps   59KB
*-3.eps   52KB
*.eps    705KB

In version 2.10.13 the same song results also in 4 files:
*-1.eps  606KB
*-2.eps  638KB
*-3.eps  633KB
*.eps    668KB

It seems that all fonts are included in all lilypond snipptets which results
(after dvips) in an huge ps-file - up to 20 times larger than in v2.8.8.

Is this really necessary?
