Patrick, I am using your neat AbcMusic recipe:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AbcMusic (which by the way is not mentioned anywhere on the Cookbook page, is there a conscious reason for that?) I have noticed that it can't display more than one page on the wiki using the gif. The ps file seems to handle it fine. I am guessing that 'ppm2gif' can only handle one page. I have hacked it to use the -sOutputFile=<name>%d.ppm option of 'gs' and then loop over each file manually to translate each page to a gif. This works, but I run into the problem that now each page looks like a full page no matter how much content is on it. I am guessing that this is simply the way that 'gs' works, but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to improve this? (the 'gs' man page seems rather limited on options) Also, how do you feel about extending the recipe to handle more music markup formats? I would contribute to this, of course, I already have abctab (from abctab2ps) working, it is nice since it handles guitar tabulation. In general I think that it is appropriate to have limited functionality in individual recipes, but since this recipe is actually more of a glue layer it would seem appropriate to enhance it to handle many different formats consistently instead of creating new recipes for each format.
