And you're saying the reason users would do it this way is because there is no support in lilypond for embedded pixel rasters except via EPS? If this is all you're worried about, why not just support a command to inject a raster image and a separate one supporting postscript images and have the latter support transparency when coming from vector graphics only? (I seem to recall this was also suggested, but I did not appreciate the meaning of the difference at the time) The use case that was discussed earlier in this thread, where a user might want to embed a publisher's logo in a pdf would appear to be most relevant when the file to be embedded is vector graphics, and I do agree with who it was who brought it up that it would be disappointing to find it auto-rasterized magically (was it Harm maybe?). Also I've been asking myself what reference resolution would that use? How will a user control it? L -- Luca Fascione
