Re: Embedded PS graphics into scores

Thanks Patrick for your advice: Im sending a working minimal example  
for your (and everybody's!) consideration. I cannot figure out this  
behaviour.  Here it follows:
\version "2.13.8"
%\include "comunes.ily"
%\include "predefined-cuatro-fretboards.ily"
%\include "predefined-strokes.ily"

% Finger stroke symbols
strokeUp = \markup { \postscript #"

end

/arrow

   /halfthick exch 2 div def
   /tipy exch def  /tipx exch def
   /taily exch def /tailx exch def

   /dx tipx tailx sub def
   /dy tipy taily sub def
   /arrowlength dx dx mul dy dy mul add sqrt def
   /angle dy dx atan def
   /base arrowlength headlength sub def

   /savematrix mtrx currentmatrix def

  \score {

Thanks for your input.
