It's a well-known fact that Illustrator is unable to handle
all features of the Postscript language, even though Adobe
wrote the specs themselves.
It's also a well-known fact that LilyPond uses some Postscript
features that for example all but the latest versions of
Ghostscript fail to handle correctly. However, I'm not sure
how well it actually adheres to the Postscript standard.

I've been using Lilypond to do all the homework for my composition class.  Of 
course, I was happy with a lot of the output, so I deleted the source files.  
(Yeah, yeah, I know, never delete anything...)  Now I find that I want to 
change the file, so I thought I'd just edit the postscript output.  I have a 
copy of Illustrator to use, but when I open the files, I only see some of the 
details, mostly just staff lines and a few notes here and there...

I have the most recent version of Illustrator and I'm not getting any errors when I open 
the file, so I'm a bit confused.  Does Lilypond output "standard" postscript?  
Is there a better program to edit the output files with?

Thanks...
Doug
