	There are three methods of handing ~~the~~ EPS files which already exist before <tt>score2eps</tt> processes the input files. By default the <tt>score2eps</tt> program will exit with an error if it is asked to overwrite any pre-existing EPS files. If the <tt>-r</tt> option is given, then any pre-existing EPS files will be replaced with a new EPS file. Alternatively, the <tt>-s</tt> option can be used to skip over any EPS file which already exists.
