Comment #4 on issue 625 by address@hidden: lilypond -dpreview ignores  
extent of bracket unless another outside staff object is nearby
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=625

This seems to be an issue still with 2.15.15 - although the syntax for  
the .ly has changed since it was first reported.

--new example--

\version "2.15.15"

%{
  In the first example, -dpreview ignores the extent of the
  overridden OttavaBracket, and the PNG is cropped near the staff.

  In the second example, the full extent of the bracket
  is revealed by placing text at the top.
%}

\relative c'' {
  \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'edge-height = #'(-10 . -5)
  \ottava #1
  c2
  c
  \ottava #0
}

\relative c'' {
  \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'edge-height = #'(-10 . -5)
  \ottava #1
  c2
  \once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #12
  c^\markup { force }
  \ottava #0
}

--snip--

I've attached screenshots of the 'pdf' output (not preview) as a .png to  
show context and the real .png preview to show the differences.
