In principle musixpss can handle total 4095 slurs and ties per job. This limit is due to the capacity of MetaPost. If the filesystem is poor, however, the limit may become more strict. The name of intermediate EPS file is defined as \jobname.* (where * is serial number of slurs and ties) so that '8+3 filename based system' (FAT16/FAT32) may cause slow operation or filename overlap by 1004 or more slurs. I would like to recommend to make one new directory per job and put all concerning files into it when using musixpss.

On 2 Aug 2002, Joel announced to this ML that he wrote a script for cleaning intermediate EPS files: http://members.optushome.com.au/j.mayes/scripts/mx.sh I think this is very useful. However, I am a win32 user, not a unix nor clone user; so I could not run this shell script on my machine at all. It may be possible to provide this cleaning function with the support program in ANSI C. Also it seems cleaning function is strongly needed for many people, so I would start thinking to provide it. The problem is that file operation code (delete, rename, path assignment, etc) tends to be dependent on indivisual OS's.
