Maybe something here might help with the white background:

Could be a little checkbox in the way you are importing the PSD?
Also, Inkscape has Bitmap Tracing, GrannyGrump made a tutorial a while back here:

Also, this is what I meant about the "wobbly" lines. I zoomed in on your PDF + one generated from MusiXTeX. As you can see, the bitmap -> vectorization, the lines look like a bunch of oddly shaped curves, you can really tell at the corners. (This adds all that bloat to the SVG I was mentioning before).

If I could read music again, I would do it. Sadly, I lost that power a while back, it looks like complete gibberish to me now, hahaha.
Heh, all this SVG talk made me look up the outline of my SVG Tutorial I was writing/researching... WOW, I can't believe it has almost been a year since I started it... insane.
Something that might also be helpful in the future, if you ever need any sort of flags, use the SVGs from the Wikipedia Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/C...ags_by_country
Do not settle for low quality flags in your books, generate right from source!
As you can see, most of these country flags are < 5KBs. Bitmap images don't have anything on that!
