The file music-drawing-routines.ps is no longer written multiple times
to the dvi file; instead, I changed the \lilypondspecial macro to emit
\special{header=music-drawing-routines.ps}
once. This tiny change has various benefits:
. The size of lilypond.dvi shrinks from 1997088 bytes to 1038148
bytes.
. The size of lilypond.ps shrinks from 2271072 to 1318716 bytes.
. TeX no longer needs to know where to find
music-drawing-routines.ps.
. Displaying the dvi and the ps file is faster (at least on my system).
AFAIK, all dvi-to-ps converters support the `header=' special.
