Hi Valentin,
Thank you for the info. But I have a hard time entering the file path name.
When I ran lilypond through frescobaldi v2.3.3, I got an error - see at the
end of the lily code. I have no idea what "ice-9 format" is.
Shalom,
Ming.

\version "2.23.3"
\markup {
  \general-align #Y #DOWN {
    \epsfile #X #20
    #"c:\User\yming tsang\Documents\SNIPPET\Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps"
%    \epsfile #Y #20 #"Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps"
  }
}
