I'm having trouble with a large LaTeX document with many music extracts (in fact, musixdoc.tex). The symptom is that ghostscript (in any form: ps2pdf, gv, gsview,...) crashes. The only *consistent* workaround is not to load musixps.tex.
I can workaround any *particular* crash by doing apparently random things unrelated to slurs etc., such as changing the font famly, changing the font encoding, changing the font size for the table of contents, etc. But, conversely, any small edit to the document can suddenly make the build fail and I have to mess around with other changes until I can see the effect of the edit (or view the dvi file). If I build the document without the chapter that loads musixps.tex, everything works. But if I build *just* that chapter with the standard preamble, everything works as well. This suggests some kind of Postscript resource (such as maximum stack size) is insufficient. I've tried increasing the size of the dictionary as suggested in the comments in musixps.tex, to no avail. Any ideas? Bob T. P.S. Stanislav Kneifl, the author of musixps.tex, says "I am out of TeX business for some time, so I am afraid I won't be of much help here." ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
