Comment #30 on issue 2658 by [email protected]: wrong stem rendering
(inconsistent thickness)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2658
Ok, this is a serious proposal now. I've already seen that in Frescobaldi
2.0.8 even using the same library version as Evince does on my system leads
to slightly more awful looking results than previously. It would appear
that the code used by Frescobaldi does not take well to fill/clip rather
than stroking. But frankly, the previous state already was appalling, and
I have no idea why Frescobaldi manages to look so much worse when using the
same PDF rendering library as Evince does.
Evince is definitely improved. Ghostscript's own rendition of its own PDF
is also improved, though less than I'd like to see. The directly produced
PNG files are quite nicer now, but the technique employed in the PostScript
really depends on doing single stroke in connection with area clipping.
Without similar techniques, one can't avoid overshooting sometimes by as
much as two pixels.
Ending bar lines are a concern as well: if the stroke adjustment thins out
the bar line, the staff lines might poke through with one pixel. It's a
general problem that matching both outline geometry as well as thicknesses
is not possible at the same time. It might make sense to give inner staff
lines a bit less of length/curve diameter so that any boundary effects are
restricted to the outer lines.
