I have found it impossible to have OOOLilyPond include anything but
bitmaps into the document.  It does not work with any vector rendition
of LilyPond output, so expect many more rasterization artifacts.

Partly that is the fault of OpenOffice/LibreOffice for not being able to
import _any_ free vector image format reliably.

Not sure how that is supposed to work.
