I recommend that you upgrade to gs 6.0 or newer. It will give you
PDF files with Type1 fonts for all fonts that are Type1 in the
postscript, which means that the resulting file looks much better
on screen. Unfortunately, we don't have the music symbols in Type1
format. Also, gs 6.x includes a script ps2pdf which does exactly
the same thing as your script.
