Here is an example of a treble clef. I only need the outermost curves traced, 
but it doesn't matter if some other curves are. I don't know exactly what the 
resolution needs to be, but it should distinguish between, for example, the 
stem and the bottom of a flat (also between the stems and the middle of a 
natural).
