dvipdfm - debian sarge - first install

[smacnay]

Hi,

I just installed lilypond and find it awesome.  I am putting small
snippets of melody in a latex doc and have had no troubles.  I get a
great .dvi and .ps file using 'lilypond-book --outdir=/tmp file.tex && cd /tmp 
&& latex file.latex && dvips file.dvi

However, if I try to 'dvipdfm file.dvi' I get errors and see no stems
on the notes.  I see error messages like this:

Unrecognized special ignored
Current input buffer is -->"lyscale1.405839  0.0650 0.0650 2.0000 1.2250
0.11...
<--

and there are as many as there are notes.

ps2pdf does work.

Is this a font issue or a dvipdfm issue?  Thanks for any help.

Yours,

Sterling
