Why such a hostile tone, Karl? There is no reason for this. I have to agree with David: While having well readable PS is nice, this is just a by-product of the conversion process from a .ly to a .pdf file. Essentially, the formatting of the PS stuff is of *no importance* to a vast majority of users. > I use the PS as is, [...] So tell us what you are doing with the PS stuff. > And my interest was in reading pdf's, so I can write programs to > extract the info I want from pdf's. Have you tried `pdftk' to uncompress a PDF file? It's then almost as readable as a plain PS file (see attachments). Werner
