[Tex-music] dvipdfmx issue

2021-05-31 Thread Bob Tennent
I believe that the majority of musixtex users convert TeX output using dvips and that is the default in the musixtex.lua script. But there are also users of dvipdfmx, including many in Japan, presumably because it handles the relevant fonts better than dvips. The musixtex script will use dvipdfmx

And it seems that the -e0 option has been recommended for dvips on musixtex output for a very long time. See Section 26.3 of musixdoc.pdf Bottom-line: If you don't use the musixtex.lua script, add -e0 as an option to dvips to preclude the dvips "feature" (i.e., bug) of adjusting pixels
