What is your intended use for the scores imported to LO. Do you intend
to print them or make a PDF of them or just view on screen.
The preview bitmap image with the eps is low resolution. You can change
this in Karbon14/Inkscape I think to get higher quality.
I find when I print, my prints are high resolution, from the eps vector
information, not the preview, so check a print.
For high resolution pdf documents from LO I need to print to ps and use
ps2pdf. Printing to pdf direct from LO uses the preview image and the
quality is not good.
