I have never tried importing music into scribus before. I tried to import an EPS file as a graphic but it treated it as having 72dpi resolution, a bad decision. If there is a way around this I would be pleased to be educated on the point. Then I tried creating a document directly from a PS file which was typeset by my favorite music layout program, Mup. The notes, lyrics etc. all appeared but only the bottom line of the 5 lines of the staff showed up. The same effect ocurred with a PS file and with an EPS conversion of that file. That is even worse. It is a problem possibly not worth solving since I can always import into Gimp and save as a bitmap with sufficiently high dpi. But I am curious why the Scribus PS file conversion routines miss part of the PostScript file. I doubt that the staff lines are bitmapped. Would anyone care to play with the PS file as generated by Mup? -- John Culleton http://wexfordpress.com http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf
