If your example is on a single stave, you can invoke Lilypond with

lilypond -dpreview file.ly

and you will get completely borderless file.preview.pdf and 
file.preview.png sized to fit the stave. Unfortunately this won't work 
if your example occupies more than one stave - all you will get is the 
first stave.
