GhostScript is a free implementation of the PostScript language which enables MusiCAD to save music as PDF, JPG and PNG. By default all printing is performed using GhostScript. The GhostScript dialog [Options|Preferences|GhostScript] makes it possible to fine-tune GhostScript operation and even replace GhostScript with another postscript interpreter, as is required when using GPL-licensed software (GhostScript) bundled with non GPL software (MusiCAD).
GhostScript (GS)
It is possible to print without GhostScript: just unmark GS.
GS PrintCommand
The filename of the actual GhostScript executable.
GS Printoptions
Command line options to be presented to Ghostscript:
-q quiet-mode
-dBATCH non-interactive
-dNOPAUSE: don't pause between pages
GS Device
Printer driver to be used, usually mswinpr2
GS directory
Directory where the GhostScript files are located, usually a subdirectory of the main installation directory.
GS destination
Full filename for the temporary postscript file generated
Color settings
MusiCAD will draw black notes on a white page by default.
You may override the coloring scheme as needed/desired using the right pane color settings. Staff lines are drawn gray by default. Some printers show the color grey with quite large dots. Setting the staff line-color to black will circumvent the dithering problem.
Color print
Must be activated to print colors. On a black&white printer you should disable color-printing.
