My system in currently in dependency hell, so I'm sure this isn't either a lilypond problem or an xpdf problem, but an ubuntu package manager problem. (If anyone tells you ubuntu has 32-bit executables installing seamlessly on a 64-bit system, they haven't tested it much.)
But if someone knows off the top of their heads why evince and gv can read the lilypond output with no problem, but xpdf comes up and then gives pages and pages of errors like: re 3930.24 340.711 2.48828 161.008 S q cm 10 0 0 10 0 0 BT Tf /R14 19.9253 font: tag=R14 name='LKBZYR+Emmentaler-20' 19.9253 Tm 1 0 0 1 393.473 50.1719 Tj () ET Q re 3871.16 0 2.49219 57.4805 f re 3871.16 -2.99219 2.48828 60.4727 S Q and then segfaults, it might help me fix the dependency problem. Don't ask me to check acroread, because I think that's what triggered the dependency hell. I did finally manage to remove it this morning, so the hell is somewhat cooler than it was last night. And if anyone has point-and-click working (with emacs) with any other pdf reader besides xpdf, that would be useful, too.

"I sat with the score during the rehearsal," he said. "At the beginning there is quite a lot of chromaticism, and at a certain point there was a chord out of tune and Pierre said, 'No, no, this is sharp, this is flat.' I was amazed. "As a pianist I had no idea how he heard all that. I mean, when I thought my piano was out of tune, I just called the tuner. So I asked Pierre how he did it. I was starting to conduct, and I wanted to know if this was something I could learn. "Pierre said: 'You have to have the courage to say what you hear and think when you conduct. Either the player will correct you and say it's not me out of tune, it's the second oboe, or you will be right. But in any case you will learn. Don't put your ego above the music. Do what you have to do for the sake of the music, and only in that way will you make progress.'
