I checked with the "make web" how to pass these options through
lilypond-book to lilypond, and it works great now: It only requires
something like 40 MB instead of 700 MB.
For those interested, the build commands are now:
$ lilypond-book --output=out/ --process="lilypond --backend=eps \
--formats=pdf -dinclude-eps-fonts -dgs-load-fonts" --psfonts slave-songs.tex
$ (cd out; pdflatex slave-songs.tex; pdflatex slave-songs.tex; \
cp slave-songs.pdf ../slave-songs.pdf)
(I don't know what -dinclude-eps-fonts does, though.)
I had to use pdflatex, as using --formats=ps and latex/dvips caused gs
to crash on the resulting file. However, PDF is fine for me so I did
not investigate further. I might have done the conversions
improperly.
Thanks,
Marcus
