I mean just develop the graphics using primative methods to produce the 
output you want. Like sprites (jpg, png), but procedural based.
 
eg..
 
void drawWholeNote(canvas, centerx,centery, scale)
{
     canvas.drawCircle(etc.....);
}
 
 
 void drawHalfNote(canvas, centerx,centery, scale)
{
     canvas.drawCircle(etc.....)
     canvas.drawLine(etc....)
}
