I can reproduce this kind of error with an empty .eps file, I'm attaching a (very minimal) example. The .ps file mimics the input that LilyPond passes to Ghostscript since the commit mentioned above. So the following fails: $ gs -dNODISPLAY -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false broken.ps $ xelatex include.tex but $ pdflatex include.tex succeeds. Likewise the "old" way of doing $ gs -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=broken.pdf broken.eps $ xelatex include.tex is fine, so it's likely something between Ghostscript and XeTeX (on Arch Linux: GS 9.52, TeXlive 2019, xdvipdfmx 20190503). I think the way forward for now is reverting above commit, even if I don't really like it. Unless somebody has a really clever idea how to 1) avoid GS producing a broken PDF (if that's the case), or 2) make xelatex accept the PDF produced by GS as described above. Jonas
