Hi, Dieter--

I don't think the clef change has anything to do with this problem.

Your file has 64 bars. In clefchange.pmx you specified 5 bars per system, which 
means 13 systems. In clefchange7.pmx you specified 3 pages and 20 systems, 
which would average 3.2 bars per system. So with the same page width, the first 
one will be way more crowded horizontally than the second. The first one does 
work if I uncomment the 277 mm page width command, and then produces good 
spacing spread over 13 systems. But with the default width of 185 mm, the 
postscript crashes. I can't say exactly where or why, but trust me, you 
wouldn't have liked how it looked if it did go through. Your second file, with 
3.2 bars per default system, worked fine, and produced an OK score spread over 
20 systems. 

Even if I don't have a precise technical answer for why the postscript crashed, 
the moral is simple: don't squeeze your score into too little horizontal space.

Subject: [Tex-music] clefchange at page break

Hi Don,

I observed, that a clefchange combined with an (automatic pmx-) line- and 
page-break may lead to a postscript error (see clefchange.pmx) .

When I force the same line- and page-break there is no postscript error (see 
clefchangel7.pmx).

The only change is  an L7P2 command before measure 150.

Example comes from Mondschein-Sonata.


Regards, Dieter
