Thank you Erik. I only changed c''4 to c'4 to have the stem up. Then
replaced the bounding box of the original EPS file to: %%BoundingBox:
127 -37 138 -16.8
I arrived at the values by trial an error though surely there must be
a better way. Also had to delete the point-and-click comments for
GhostScript to work.
This is the LaTeX code: \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{file.eps}
which seems more or less ok with Latin Modern fonts at 12pt, but
perhaps someone has a better idea on 1) how to find the right scaling
(eg. make the stem lenght equal to the height of a certain character
like, say, 'l'?) and 2) how to handle (or even automatize) the kerning
between the note glyph and the text.
