I'm tempted to say that LilyPond thickens the staff lines too aggresively. However, i cannot be sure unless i do some testing, and for that i'd need some good quality printer (i only have medium quality printer available - resolution is too low for such tests). Eh... another thing on my (already too ling) lily-todo list... cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
