I've had limited success using GIMP to import LilyPond 2.12.3 PDF files and
insert svg logos.  I use CutPDF to create the updated sheet music PDF.  One
problem I found is that GIMP will create separate layers for each page of
the LP PDF.  For example, a two-page PDF results in two GIMP layers.  I have
to merge the two layers back to a single PDF by using CutePDF Pro.  The
default font in LP carries through the PDFs after processing with GIMP.

I run GIMP 2 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  There is also a Mac OS10 version
available at:

HTH.

Aloha,

Keith
