Hello!

I have a specific question: How to split a EPS file, producing by LilyPond  

For example: 

http://nikolay.kirov.be/2010/folk/td_093_1_01.eps

I would like to cut  the file horizontally to obtain 2 files - one for the text and one for the notes. 

Can anybody help me?

You could write a little parser for the EPS file - one that keeps all of the text, and one that doesn't.

The text is in lines looking like, for example:

/TimesNewRomanPSMT 4.33691406 output-scale div selectfont

1.3657 0.0000 /afii10079

1.1267 0.0000 /afii10065

1.1609 0.0000 /afii10067

3 print_glyphs

It always starts with /TimesNewRomanPSMT, has X glyphs, and then finishes with X print_glyphs.

Then, depending on how fancy you want to get, you can modify the bounding box to be more snug around either the text or the music.
