Graphics in text-line

Graphics in text-line

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear list,

Would it be possible to insert a tiny graphic, not larger than a capital M, into a textline?

I am presently making a bilingual version of a sixteenth century French musical treatise, and I would like to copy as much as possible the typographic features of the original in the modern version, both French and a  translation. 
In the original French edition some text lines contain musical symbols, not only the sharp, flat and natural characters but also some others, of which I can make graphics (png or pdf).
I can place these praphics in the margin and even in a footnote (although with rather too much space above it) but I would prefer to have them in their text line.
Is that doable?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

More control about the height gives you this method:

\defineexternalfigure[inline][height=1.8ex]

\starttext
This is a cow \externalfigure[cow][inline].
\stoptext

This, especially the second method, is exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much Wolfgang.

Best regards,
