Hey Paul,
It'll take a few steps to sort through the problem, but one thing I'd recommend
is rewriting all your stencils using internal lilypond code. Embedded PS,
while useable, is a pain in terms of variables - it requires lots of messy
string manipulation and makes your code unexportable to SVG.
Check out the path stencil (used to make the eyeglasses markup, for example) -
everything you're doing can be rewritten in the same spirit. Then, to resize
it dynamically, just make certain things in the path stencil variables instead
of hardcoded values.
Cheers,
MS
