Yes, but if you magnify the imported ps in the Scribus document, the
irregularity is in the ps import.

Exporting that as a PDF faithfully reproduces the ps irregularity

Maybe a faulty ps importer for Scribus. Okular when importing the ps
into pdf does the same.

I tried importing it into Lyx, but subsequent processing generated an
"Unable to determine size" error. Maybe there is a clue?

Perhaps it is a Lilypond oddity?
