You may have already explored this, but can you use oolilypond?

Gary,
No, I didn't. I looked at it but the big snag is that you must translate
first to Lilypond format.The music I write is much too cumbersome for
writing directly in Lilypond format (I write arrangements for 2 piano's
and big bands) and in my book there will be many examples.
However, I can try the route: Finale (Windows) -> .mxml -> Musescore
(Linux notation program that reads .mxml and can give Lilypond output)
-> Lilypond output -> oolilypond in libreoffice.
I need to use Finale as the Linux programs don't have the opportunities
I need to write efficiently.
However, it's - as usual - a very good suggestion and I sure will
explore it. Maybe someone will make a oomxml plugin!
Thanks,
Joep

I momentarily gave up on direct import but instead explored how to import as a picture. I found 2 routes to convert .ps to .jpg.
The most simple is to use convert:
convert sample.ps sample.jpg.
This gives rather small files but the resolution is not really optimal despite the use of several options to enhance the quality. Another route is via gs. There a better control of the resolution can be achieved using: gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -r300 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=testpage-a4.jpg testpage-a4.ps Here r300 is the resolution (I have found that r 150 is also acceptable and the file is 75 % smaller), dBATCH makes that gs finishes automatically and dNOPAUSE makes it process all pages without prompt. It is not exactly what I wanted but this is very usable. I publish it here so that it may be of some help to others.
