I have no way to automate the Inkscape step. Inkscape has a semi-native Python interface, so it might be possible to write a script to iterate through all of the objects in the file and ungroup/convert them as appropriate. (In fact, that might not be too bad at all for someone sufficiently familiar with Inkscape's Python interface... specifically, one would ungroup the first couple of document-wide groups, which correspond to the output page. Then, the document will consist of a bunch of one-element groups; for each of these that contains a svg:text element, ungroup and convert the text element to a path. All of the others should be svg:rect or :line and should be safe to leave as-is.) Needless to say, it would be more beneficial overall for someone to simply fix LilyPond's SVG output in the first place ;-) -- Benjamin D.
