Generating small fragments to be embedded into latex

[Davide Benini]

Hello folks.
I am completing a PhD thesis in LaTeX; I need to embed some fragments  
of music; actually, at this stage I am using notes to show a prosodic  
rhythm, and make  acomparison with music.
Here is a sample, a snapshot from a Word draft:

As you see, I need to put just the notes; I guess this could be done  
in Lilypond through the use of the Rhythmic staff.
Here is what I've done so far:

\version "2.8.6"

\new RhythmicStaff {
      \time 12/8
    \partial 8
        d8 d4 d8 d4 d8 d4 d8 d8 d8 d8  d4 d8 d4 d8 d4
    }
\addlyrics{ Some  TIME She  USED to PUT me THROUGH the re SPON se sof  
the MASS }

Still, I have a number of problem.
1) I'd like to generate a 'small' pdf, to be embedded in a text,  
rather than a regular page
2) I's like to eliminate the 'made with lilypond' text
3) Possibly, I'd like to make the rhythmic staff and the key transparent
4) I'd like to stretch the width  of the staff, that is, not as large  
as the page (some fragments are very short)

Can you help with any of these points?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Davide
