Thanks again... it would appear that I'm up and running! A couple of warning messages in the output (e.g. "Overfull \vbox (0.7539pt too high) has occurred while \output is active", "ly2dvi: warning: can't find file: `test.midi'") but the pdf is generated, and this time it's high-quality antialiased type. Much appreciated!
