Thanks, Guido -- that was EXACTLY what I needed!
Of course, my perfectionism has taken over, and I've tweaked the
notation slightly more, with the final result being as follows:
PUT2("/Times-Italic-Bold 16 selectfont %.1f %.1f M (8vb) show\n",
x+9, y+5);
Now my output notation looks almost exactly like the sheet music I
transcribed it from. Of course, now I can't make it say "8va" in the
proper location at the top of the clef, but for my custom purposes,
that's OK (as long as I remember what I changed so I can put it back the
right way :-) )
Now we should probably both get back to work. ;)
