I can't enough recommend all forces being set in to help Bob with this
project!
In the meantime you may have a look at the set of scores for my recorder
arrangement of a suite by Furchheim. I had to do some typesetting error
corrections anyway and took to opportunity to generate the new
postscript files using Bob's type1 fonts and added pdfs as well. By
comparing other musixtex dvipdfm generated pdfs with those of the
Furchheim suite you'll probably notice a remarkably improved screen
rendering of the pdfs.
