Firstly, the PostScript file is an intermediate rendering of the score, then used to obtain the PDF file from it. You can ignore or delete it if you have got a proper PDF. Secondly, if you need a bitmap image from the score, use the --png commandline option, http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Command_002dline-usage#Command_002dline-usage With the ghostscript/gsview combination for Windows you can view the PS files and also export to bitmap from them, from inside of this program. It is not from Adobe. -- Francisco Vila.
