Interestingly, my attempts to generate PDFs using dvipdf(m) result in files where Acrobat Reader won't display the ties (though the same PDF file, opened in GSView, looks perfect). Running dvips, opening the PS in GSView, and then converting to PDF from there produces a PDF that, on my system, looks as it should. There is another interesting glitch, though -- when I sent the PDF to the composer yesterday, the feedback I got was that the ties begin a long way from the note heads *when he prints the file*, though it looks all right on screen. Is there no end to the eccentricities of the PDF format... Eva Downloadable guitar edition of J.S.
