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!

Bryn,
I've used LilyPond on Windows and Linux but not on a Mac. I've never
noticed a difference. Have you actually compared *printed* output on
paper or just *displayed* output on the monitors?
