The latter is a bug in xdvi I think. Try to use the greatest
magnification (press `1 s') and you should see correct ledger lines.

In my teTeX installation, xdvi uses the TEXPSHEADERS variable to find
PS header files like music-drawing-routines.ps. I have the following
default value in texmf.cnf:
TEXPSHEADERS = .;$TEXMF/{dvips,pdftex,tex,fonts/type1}//
This means that any file installed somewhere in $TEXMF/tex/... is
checked. AFAIK, music-drawing-routines.ps is installed in
/usr/share/texmf/tex on Debian (which I don't use), so it should be
found.
Say
KPATHSEA_DEBUG=-1 xdvi foo.dvi &> foo.kpathsea.log
and analyze the log file to find out where xdvi searches
music-drawing-routines.ps.
Hmm, I've just checked the texmf.cnf file from the TeX Live 7 CD, and
I see that things have changed compared to my old teTeX setup. `tex'
is no longer part of the default TEXPSHEADERS, only the
program-specific TEXPSHEADERS.xxx variables contain it.
I'm not sure how to solve this. The easiest (and probably cleanest)
solution is to add the following line (or something similar) to
texmf.cnf:
TEXPSHEADERS.xdvi = .;$TEXMF/{tex,pdftex,dvips,fonts/{type1,pfb}}//
I have mixed feelings with the other solution, namely to copy
music-drawing-routines.ps into the dvips subdirectory tree. Perhaps
someone else can decide this.
