The notes only have stems, no note heads or flags (or what do you call them in 
English).

I noticed you mentioning -u -lilypond.map, the lilypond script uses -u 
+lilypond.map.

The commandline used to generate ps output looks like this:
dvips  -ta4 -Ppdf -G0 -u -lilypond.map -oFranc_berger.ps Franc_berger.dvi
I cannot find the -G and the -u option in the dvips I have. 
dvips tells me that it is:
This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)

Maybe I need a higher version of dvips?
