It might be just so that the oowriter gui that is not able to show the
eps correctly, since the saved file contains the same eps file as
produced by lilypond:

$ unzip tt.odt 
$ md5sum Pictures/20000002000001B8000000CDB9D1ED85.eps ../Imusic-1.eps 
023b4568290dc833c704f2a352eec342  Pictures/20000002000001B8000000CDB9D1ED85.eps
023b4568290dc833c704f2a352eec342  ../Imusic-1.eps

and that is very much scalable.

But then again, when I try to print it out, no graphics is printed out
just the text (entered directly into oowriter). I haven't worked much
with openoffice, but it doesn't seem to handle eps import correctly,
or have I missed something?
