My reason for omitting postscript slurs is that the screen rendering of a pdf score generated with ps2pdf is inferior to pdf scores generated immediately from the musixtex files with pdftex or from the dvi files with dvipdfm. Both of these utilities can't cope with postscript slurs and ties. I _am_ aware that there is no quality loss with printouts from such pdf files. To my needs font based ties are generally OK. If I'm typesetting music involving slurs, then I'll often activate postscript slurs which are much, much better than font base slurs. Then of course I have to accept the inferior screen rendering -- Christian Mondrup, Sheet Music Editor WIMA: Werner Icking Music Archive http://icking-music-archive.org/ _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
