Ick, I'd forgotten about that.

ok, how about this?  Your script should:
  echo "\header { tagline = ##f } " > /tmp/lilypond-no-header.ly
  lilypond -dinclude-settings=/tmp/lilypond-no-header.ly --png bug.ly
  convert bug.png -trim bug-upload.png

something like that.  Could you test it, then we can have a set
script for bug squad members (on linux and osx at least) to
produce great pngs for the tracker?
(oh, maybe replace bug.ly with $1 ... maybe add some explanations
or a help message... dunno, depends on how much work you feel like
doing, and/or how easy you want to make it for yourself in the
future)
