So it seems there is an interoperability problem between Lilypond 2.12.2 on Windows and Acrobat 9 on Windows. A key aim of the Lilypond project is to produce the most beautiful automated typesetting possible, so this sort of ugly output from an industry standard pdf viewer is regrettable. > Well, I'm willing to say that Lilypond is doing his job! Thanks again. OK, that's good! There is a newer release of Lilypond, version 2.14.2 you could try: http://lilypond.org/download.html And the current development release 2.15.95 is in very good shape: http://lilypond.org/development.html I'm interested to check your pdf on a few viewers I have on my systems. Could you send me your output pdf, please?
