Use the 'Redisplay' button in gv instead of invoking the preview function from within Emacs.
Or even easier, set the watch flag in gv (under the State button). Then gv will automatically refresh when the .ps file changes.
But can I update the .ps file from within emacs? Or do I need to use abcm2ps from the command line, to update my .ps file, which gv then will redisplay?
I use a makefile, and use the default 'compile' command, which calls make. You could do likewise, or set the 'compile' command to use abcm2ps, by putting these lines in your .emacs file:
(global-set-key [f9] 'compile) ;; or whichever key you prefer (setq compile-command "abcm2ps ")
You can also find the compile command under the Tools button
on the toolbar. There's a Shell Command menu item right under
it that can also be used to run abcm2ps. Or you can bring up a shell buffer by typing 'M-x shell' and entering your commands
there.

Hang on, hang on. It's rather simpler than that. If you're using abc-mode revision 1.12 from <http://my.execpc.com/~mjunker/abc-mode.el> (which is the most recent version AFAIK), it suffises to select 'Run abc2ps (buffer) (C-c C-p p)' or 'Run abc2ps (song) (C-c C-p 1)' from the abc menu. Maybe you should set your preferences for the abc tools that you use. Most settings can be customsed with 'M-x customize-group RET abc-mode RET'.
