I typed too quickly. There are a bunch of def's here, but none of them
is ever called, so nothing gets drawn (even with a showpage), just as
if a Python file had a bunch of def's but never called any functions.
Also, _rbar doesn't get defined anywhere. This is just a snippet out
of a bigger file, not meaningful out of context, but evidence that one
really can hand-code Postscript. I do it also. To help you avoid
disappointment, here's some hand-coded Postscript for printing music
paper.

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
