I've put a single page example up here.

I'm generating the pdf as such:
  1. music source in abc files, use abc2mtex to generate MusiXTeX files.
  2. convert to dvi using tex.
  3. convert to postscript with: dvips -j0 -Ppdf -Pdownload35 -G0 -D 1200 -Z -mode ljfzzz -o music.ps music.dvi
  4. convert to pdf with: ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dSubsetFonts=false -dEmbedAllFonts=true music.ps music.pdf

I've tried using pdflrf which converts the pages to images and embeds them in a lrf file. This works, but I'd rather stick with just pdf if I can get it working so I can add hyperlinks and stuff.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
Did you set the page size to match the Sony Reader's screen of 90mmx120mm or 120mmx90mm?
