Yes, I see what you're doing now. The "scrot" method is what I would
use to produce the image that Ben posted, whereas you are lacking the
functionality illustrated within that image: ie capture of the blue
rectangle.

Would this imply that you normally capture the entire music, surrounded
by white margins? Is it unsuitable to run LP so that it produces a
PNG file (rather than PDF) with --png -dresolution=1200
(or whatever value is appropriate)?
Programs like GraphicsMagick can crop a PNG image; GM's terminology
for cropping in this manner is "trim", ie "removes any edges that are
exactly the same color as the corner pixels."
Aside: I don't know what your workflow is, but with PNG files (which
are rasters) you have to worry about resolution, whereas with a PDF
file workflow, the images are vectors and remain sharp regardless of
the magnification. There are programs like pdfcrop that crop/trim
PDFs in the same manner.
Cheers,
David.
