Hi Peter,

The postscript file you have with your ly file on the website.. was that
produced with a linux or "windows native" or "windows cgwin" version of
lilypond??

This is quite off topic to what you originally sent the email for...  but
windows users have had trouble opening postscript files under gsview but for
some reason the postscript file you had on your website seemed to work..
any help with the lilypond platform would be of great help...

Thanks..

Trent
