If it's a single line of music,
  -dpreview
could do the job.  (that's what I use)

The info in AU about lilypond-book might help (inserting lilypond
output into other program), but probably won't, since it's aimed
at producing eps images.  Actually, you might be able to convert
the eps to png using an external program.

Finally, you could play with clip-example, which I believe is now
in NR 3.  But I'm not certain if anybody's rewritten the docs for
them -- I certainly haven't.
