Bob-- I'm an idiot when it comes to TeXnical details, but I did notice this at line 153 of musixps.tex:
% everything else is stored in PostScript variables. If you run out % of the PostScript dictionary used for slurs, you can increase its size % by changing the number 200 in the first line of psslurs.pro to anything % reasonable. (The number says how many tokens can be defined.) Did you try that? --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob > Tennent > Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 7:10 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Tex-music] musixps issues > > I'm having trouble with a large LaTeX document with many music extracts (in > fact, musixdoc.tex).
