Indeed, i like this layout too! > mac preview doesn't seem to have the issues mentioned in janek's bug report. > either that or i'm half blind… ;) i opened it up in illustrator, at high > levels of magnification, the stems are slightly different, but that seems to > change if i scroll around? i haven't noticed anything on printouts yet, but > i'll keep an eye on that. ? The point of that bug is that is manifests itself the *most* at medium-low zoom levels, like 100-150%. You see, the problem is that in Acrobat Reader (and some other viewers) some stems are 1 pixel thicker than other stems. Exactly 1 pixel, regardless of zoom level. If you zoom to 800%, this means that some stems will be (for example) 9 pixels thick and some 10 pixels thick - that's a small difference. On 100% zoom, however, some stems will be 1 pixel thick and other 2 pixels thick - that's two times thicker! This is also why this issue is almost invisible in printouts - they have high resolution, so the 1px difference is very small. Fortunately, there is a chance that this issue will be fixed - David Kastrup investigated it for some time. It's a complicated area and there are side-effets, for example pdf filesize is increased (that's why the fix wasn't added to official Lilypond distribution yet - it's still experimental). However, i've been using it for a few months now and i really like the results. best, Janek PS if you have access to a Linux box (could be Ubuntu in a virtual machine) and you'd like to try this experimental fix, i could show you how. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
