textcomp's \textmusicalnote doesn't work: "cannot open encoding file for reading"
It looks like I didn't have enough fonts installed. I ran this command as root
yum install 'texlive-cm-super*'
to install the complete cm-super font details.
Now I can see music! :-)
For FreeBSD 10.0, the package "tex-dvipsk" contains the respective file.
pkg install tex-dvipsk
