Try something like:

{ c c c c-"\\embeddedps{1 1 moveto 2 2 rlineto stroke}" }

I'm assuming you use 2.3 CVS, because otherwise you won't be able to
use ly snippets inside scheme.  However

% can't get this to work
#(define (slash x)
   ;; #{ \notes { $x-"\\embeddedps{1 1 moveto 2 2 rlineto stroke}" } #}
   #{ \notes { $x -"\\embeddedps{1 1 moveto 2 2 rlineto stroke}" } #}
)

% { c c c c #(slash 'c) }

Have you looked the \embeddedps example in the tips and tricks?
