Hi Mats, I gave it a little thought. And actually, I like the idea to use the \markup{} expression. Constructing notes with stems will get a lot easier I guess. As you said using this directly in my lytex file won't work. Cropping from the output from a straight lilypond file won't work either due the footer. I thought of this approach: Making a \pagestyle{empty} lilypond book latex file with the \markup expression in it. Convert page 2 of the dvi file to ps Excute ps2epsi mychar.ps mychar.eps
When I take a look at this eps file it looks as I expected. But when I include this in a new LaTeX file, out of nowhere the footer pops up again in the eps file. By footer I mean the "Music engraving by LilyPond 2.8.6- www.lilypond.org" line at the bottom of the picture. If there's no other solution, I'm considering to convert the ps to pdf, convert it back to ps, etc. But life would get a whole lot easier if there's a way to delete the footer right from the beginning. So I could just make a lilypond file and crop that output.
