Many thanks for the clarification that this approach will not work and
alternative suggestions.
I presume that /image will only include PNGs in a SVG output and not EPS
(the documentation reads a little unclearly on this as the section on
backends is elided with comments on coloured backgrounds)?
For context I am using SVG output because my display target is a custom
IOS app that uses skia as a backend. SKIA can be used to display SVGs
easily within the context that I am working. SKIA does have a pdf
backend but it isn’t exposed directly by the framework I’m using.
The reason to use EPS is that I want to bring in vector graphics made in
Inkscape using a graphics tablet. It is a little frustrating that I
can’t get these vector graphics into Lilypond SVG output, as they are
basically SVG in the first place, but from what I understand so far that
isn’t possible.
Therefore, if I understand correctly my current options would be:
- render to pdf and work on a system to render pdfs within the framework
I’m using (this is probably possible, but involves lots of unknowns)
- rasterise the images and display as PNG, thus include the rasterised
version in the SVG (not optimal in terms of file size or speed of
render, but possible)
- work on a system to convert SVG paths to Lilypond/Scheme paths in
order to be able to draw in a vector within Lilypond to any backend.

Have I missed anything?
Maybe include EPS, use LiyPond’s PDF backend and convert PDF to SVG with
Inkscape?
