This is a problem with boh Acrobat (acroread) and Ghostview, and probably with any other PS or PDF viewer. It took me a while to discover why music looked so awful with ghostview. Finally I tried turning off the antialiasing (though I didn't really have much of an idea what that did), and then the music looked really nice. It does have a problem on a small screen or small window, with staff lines not quite evenly spaced. But this is better than what antialiasing does to the staffs.
