This does not necessarily mean that old scores look better than new scores. Modern digital technology provides possibilities that were not feasible with old printing techniques. And no, this does not necessarily mean that new printing look better than old printing, either. As anyone who has seen books typeset in 14pt Times Roman can confirm... I like the way LilyPond does it, but sometimes I'd like it slightly better when it would be just a little bit lighter. Just a personal taste. (My main fonts for typesetting are Garamond Light and Helvetica Light, so probably I'm a Light person.) Okay, back to our regular schedule of beautifully typesetting beautiful music. -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
