getting musictex to work

Hi,

I've been trying to get musictex to work and I seem to be having
troubles finding the fonts I need, getting them to work, and so on.
I've copied not only the *.mf fonts from ymir.claremont.edu and all
the *.tfm fonts.  When inputting musictex.tex to tex, it couldn't find
any music fonts so I changed the .mf suffixes to .tfm to see what
would happen and I got the log file I'm including at the end of
letter.  Could someone either help me or suggest where I could find
the answers?

Thanks,
Richard.

Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)
