crop

In Lilypond the paper size can be set to A4, A5, Letter and so forth. However I have only a short song, and I want to embed it lateron. Therefore the output from Lilypond must be cropped somehow.

Is there a possibility to let Lilypond itself do this? Some setting to the \paper{} block, perhaps?
