Yeah, I found an earlier post to this group linked through the web talking about Preview not handling embedded fonts very well. I resorted to using Aacrobat and it seems to work fine.
On a side note, I could only get the error to manifest when printed on certain printers. It's quite possible viewers would also suffer although I haven't found one that does. Lilypond-book is ok except I don't want to run my thesis through yet another process to create the few figures that I use. I did use lilypond-book with dummy tex files that just had a figure in them so I could get lilypond-book to produce .ps files that encapsulate just the music and not a full page as lilypond proper does. I found that a bit annoying and so I switched to pdf cropping in preview and hence my problem.
