Hello, all.

I'm a musician and music theorist who has been back and forth to lilypond
over the past few years, and I've recently decided to make the effort to
learn lilypond thoroughly enough that it can become my main notation
software. I have a question that I hope is not too ignorant. I've searched
through the manuals and other online resources and can't seem to figure out
the answer. Here's hoping one of you experts has a solution.

I use both a Mac (at work) and a Windows machine (at home), and I've
noticed some subtle but important discrepancies when rendering PDFs with
lilypond on each of my machines. Specifically, I notice that when I render
the PDF on my iMac, the stems are misaligned with their respective
noteheads. I also notice that in some places the noteheads seem slightly
detached from the stems.  Conversely, on when I render the PDF in Windows,
the problem disappears. Instead, I find that my margins have been ignored,
and everything looks slightly larger.  Overall, I'd say that the rendering
on Windows looks much better, though it'd be nice to have full control of
formatting as well.

Again, my apologies if this is something obvious. I greatly appreciate your
help and advice!
