Check our own new website, for example (still in development): http://lilypond.org/~graham/Examples.html#Examples Some of the staff lines are blurred on our examples as well. Just now I tried running a file at a much higher resolution and the problem is still there. I don't think this has anything to do with Lilypond, but rather with images being rendered on a screen. When I look at a lilypond pdf file in either Evince or Acroread, some of the lines are blurred there as well, but the printed output always looks excellent. Incidentally, I just went to my iMac and looked at a bunch of .tif files generated by Finale at something like 1200 dpi, and they also have some blurry staff lines. I don't think it's specific to Lilypond. These Finale images were made for an article I published a few years ago and they looked perfect in the printed copy. Best, Jon p.s. it's funny that you should write to the list now, since just a few days ago one of my faculty colleagues forwarded an email to me about your counterpoint website. I also have a counterpoint project going, info here in you're interested: http://music2.louisiana.edu/Gratis/ -- Jonathan Kulp http://www.jonathankulp.com
