I went through all the compilation steps except I'm not sure whether I used ps2eps...I just asked gsview32 to convert it from ps to eps, and after making me swear I had read the help file, it went ahead and did it. After latex'ing the wrapper document, I do see the same problem that Luigi sees.
GSview help says "EPS documents must not use any of the following operators: banddevice clear cleardictstack copypage erasepage exitserver framedevice grestoreall initclip initgraphics initmatrix quit renderbands setglobal setpagedevice setpageparams setshared startjob letter note legal a3 a4 a5 The following operators should be used with care: nulldevice setgstate sethalftone setmatrix setscreen settransfer setcolortransfer It is your responsibility to make sure that the above requirements are met. To test if a document contains any of the above operators, select Options | EPS Warn and then Open the desired document. After the page has been displayed, Close the document and then display the Ghostscript messages with File | Show Messages. If any of the above operators have been used you should see lines like: Warning: EPS files must not use ... If you find these warnings then do not use PS to EPS. Remember to turn off EPS Warn afterwards." I went through the check that is suggested here, and got these messages from GSview: "Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /serverdict Warning: EPS file must not use /serverdict " However, when I run the same check on Cornelius' source file kslurs2.eps, I get "Displaying DSC file C:/Documents and Settings/Don/My Documents/Wima2/software/pmx/NoackManual/source1/eps/kslurs3.eps Displaying page 1 Warning: EPS file must not use /statusdict Warning: EPS file must not set page size: /letter Warning: EPS file should be careful using /setmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /initmatrix Warning: EPS file must not use /serverdict Warning: EPS file must not use /serverdict " So bottom line, I don't have a clue how to fix this problem. --Don Simons >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] >On Behalf Of Luigi Cataldi >Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 1:54 PM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: [TeX-Music] Vertical tweaks of slur type k in Latex doument > >Dear all, > >I'm working on an updating of my pmx/mtx italian tutorial and I came >across a strange behavior. The example 23a.pmx (see below the source >code) contains some postscript type k slurs, with global vertical tweaks >(Ap+s).
