I think I tried everything but didn't get it to work.
For the moment I use:
\def\LPscale{0.6315789} % downscale the image
\def\LPkscale{632}
% doesn't work: \def\LPkscale{\numexpr1000\LPscale\relax}

But anyway - my problem is caused by LilyPond not obeying its size  
commands in EPS mode, so the simple scaling doesn't help...
