Subject: lilypond-book/LateX Beamer: best rendering practice?


Hi all,

As mentioned earlier, I am planning to deliver a Lilypond workshop together with a friend at this year's Linux Audio Conference. For the workshop slides, I already have a working setup using lilypond-book --pdf in combination with pdflatex and LaTeX Beamer.

- But I get the impression that PNGs (rather than PDFs) might be the way to go for better-quality on-screen display of Lilypond output?


I guess the benefit of PNG is that you're not reliant on the PDF on-screen renderer to control the look of the output. However, if you create the PNGs you're going to use at their final size, you're still dependent on a relatively unsophisticated mechanism to fit the lines and features to the pixels. I would experiment with creating PNGs much larger than you require and resizing them with an image processing application. Also experiment with LilyPond's anti-alias-factor.
