Sorry for that, John, if you take it like that. I find PDF a good (if not perfect it's a lot better than GIF IMHO) format for document exchange and I found useful to say that to help users who want to exchange music with non abc litterate friends. Saying that PDF files coming from the *abc*2ps/GhostScript road are unreadable seems a little too much for me. > Antialiasing is an especially awful subject.

So I thought it could be useful to tell them to turn off antialiasing (for example, with GSVIEW 4.* on a Windows box, go to the Media/Display settings menu and set the Graphics Alpha to 1 bit).
