...and hopefully this will bring a fruitful response. I basically asked about ALL the issues that I've been struggling with, that we've been talking about here -- although naturally there's not much that anyone can do with regard to SVG's compatibility in some devices. If only because of this latter issue (compatibility), I may still end up using PNG anyway, but nevertheless it would certainly be nice to get those other issues figured out!

Also, this is what I meant about the "wobbly" lines. I zoomed in on your PDF + one generated from MusiXTeX. As you can see, the bitmap -> vectorization, the lines look like a bunch of oddly shaped curves, you can really tell at the corners. (This adds all that bloat to the SVG I was mentioning before).

I'm assuming you meant when you zoomed in on my SVG (not PDF)? Don't forget, my sheet music was a scan from an old book, and so obviously the glyphs, etc. aren't going to come out perfectly clean and crisp to begin with, never mind that the Image Trace function in Illustrator isn't perfect either -- meanwhile your MusiXteX program (which I haven't use) no doubt is creating its SVG files from actual digital fonts (i.e. all the musical notation, etc. are fonts, not graphics), so it's no wonder that it creates SVG files that are virtually "perfect".
Nevertheless, I'm sure that even doing it the way that I did (using a scanned image, etc.) there surely must be a way to get the file size down to something more comparable to what you were able to do -- I guess I'll just have to wait and see what folks on that Adobe forum come up with for suggestions/solutions.
Thanks for your help -- even if the best part of it was to get me to post a query on the Adobe forums! Hopefully that'll result in something -- I guess you can follow it over there, if you're so inclined, but if/when I do get some "final" answer on how to go about things, I'll re-post the link to that page at that time.
