First, I suggest using musiXtex, which gives better slurs, though
it requires separate passes. Your problem above is surely that you
haven't installed the necessary fonts. On a good TeX system, you
should only need to put the mf (metafont) files in a sub-directory of a
directory where your system finds mf files and everything will work out.
Otherwise you'll have to generate tfm and pk files yourself and you'd
better get advice from a guru.
