The final chapter of this slightly wierd story is that I just upgraded to
RedHat 8.0 and now my lilypond PS output looks great on Ghostview. I can
only guess that there was something wrong with the way I installed
Ghostview, but it doesn't matter any more!

Ok, I did that - but I'm not quite sure how all of this works. Do I need
to recompile now or should it work straight away?

I had a quick look at texconfig but wasn't sure what to do - which options

The staves and the clefs look right but the note heads and chord names
come out as a dotty mess.

That comes out fine, strangely.
I can't figure this out at all -

OK, I attach an .ly file and its associated .ps and .dvi

Hi,
I would like to fine tune the chord symbols on my lilypond output.
How do I change to a sans-serif font?

Have I typed something wrong, or do I need additional software to use MIDI

Thanks in advance,
