Comment #69 on issue 2658 by [email protected]: wrong stem rendering (inconsistent thickness)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2658

Concerning strokeadjust at "natural" settings (off) when converting to PDF and then printing via GhostScript, it turns out that staff lines switch between 5 and 6 pixels of thickness at 600dpi. Quite noticeable. The cleanest way might be to snap some essential line thicknesses to integer multiples of 1/300dpi or so right in the stencils instead of relying on strokeadjust to do this. If strokeadjust can be left off, this avoids the occasional 1-pixel geometry mismatch at various corners: after all, strokeadjust has to remove pixels from a line that has been designed to fit together with another line.

At the current point of time, however, I see few alternatives to leaving strokeadjust on unconditionally and tolerating 1-pixel overshoots at corners. Those are less distracting than full staff lines that are one pixel too large.
