I have experienced very similar problems with Debian's ps2pdf package. I found one workaround:
Before running ps2pdf, run ps2ps on the postscript file, like ps2ps music.ps temp.ps This produces a new postscript file temp.ps which is not identical to music.ps, but which ps2pdf seems to like better: If you now use ps2pdf on temp.ps, you will probably avoid those errors.
