Using a different PDF viewer is not really an acceptable solution for work that will be published on the internet. It needs to be acceptably viewable in ANY pdf viewer on any platform. I will point out again, that if a PDF is created on the mac(with finale), it looks fine on windows. Also if

Ok, here's a question. I know this question comes up occasionally. I have been one of the people bringing it up. Why do lilypond PDF's look crappy on-screen, even though they print fine? particularly on windows. Here is a simple example. This screen shot is from around page 15 of the lilypo

Thanks for the simple example and see the measure numbering is retained correctly this way. But I still do not understand how I can have the conductor score have EMPTY measures when the whole measure is a rest (but not hide the rests in measures that have notes). > -Original Message

Yea, I've tried a couple different midi files. The same midi files open up fine in sonar. I've read to resave them from Sonar too and those also have the same problem. They don't crash really. Midi2ly produces a message saying that it created my ly file. But the ly file has no note data in
