Re: PDF-generation lily2.5.19

[dax2]

    Ok! It works! Thanks!

    The new ps2pdf cuts off some piano bass at the bottom of the
page, though. 

    I built Aladdin ghostscript-8.50 for /usr/local/ and my path
sets /usr/local/bin before the others (it is not a bastion host:-)

    The ghostscript-afpl is blocked on my Gentoo (by itself?)

    ps2pdf makes a nice PDF-file, I can see improvements to the
quality. It is clickable.

    I use the here-lily script to setup path/font for 2.5.19.

    I can still use 2.4.5 for Red Hat-9 which I got from CCRMA; it
installs in "/usr" and of course I use /etc/profile.d/lilypond.sh to
get the TEXMF parameter.

That explains a lot. Thank you very much!

Yes, I have actually once looked into the Ghostscript printerdriver
specifications, it seemed very clear and logic to me. I do not need
for now - I hope for a "Brother" laser-printer later.


Thank you again.
