When I tried it (Gentoo Linux, Lilypond 2.8.1 GUB, GNU Ghostscript 8.16), I noticed that certain text elements were missing, including the time signature. One strange omission was the "to Coda", followed by a coda sign: the words "to Coda" were missing, but the coda sign itself was not. Same markup line and all. The header info (title, composer) showed up, so it stands to reason that GS is finding the Century Schoolbook font. This is a bit strange. Regarding the bit about file size: the eps file doesn't seem to include certain info, such as paper size; only the stuff about what gets printed gets in. Perhaps someone who knows more about postscript should talk about this since I don't really know what I'm talking about... Josiah
