Well ,for whatever its worth... I can produce fine looking PDF's with another program I use for guitar tablature. It produces excellent looking guitar tabs that look as good as anything printed in guitar player magazine..with even lines, thin lines, thick lines, consistent, no funny aliasing in fonts or lines ANYWHERE. They look as good in PDF form as they do printed out.. Well except for the fact that its 72dpi on the screen instead of 300dpi in the printer, so you might see a few more jaggies in the curves, but that is to be expected...and its consistent.
I am going to try to produce some PDF's with Finale and Overture to see if they are unable to produce a quality PDF. I can't see any technical limitation of PDF that would prevent lilypond from being able to also produce a quality PDF..unless the truth is that lilypond is producing a higher resolution postscript and then relying on acrobat to try to downsample it to 72 dpi PDF display. That's what it feels like to me..that the issues are all about screen resolution vs print resolution and resulting in mishap. In the end, what does matter most is the printing, but I hope that the developers of lilypond will consider that PDF output is mattering more and more to many of us. I believe its possible for lilypond to produce better output in PDF files....unless there is some setting somewhere that needs to be tweaked for this...I'm inclined to think at this point that lilypond is not appropriate for PDF generation. cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/barline-problem-t1778120.html#a4850585 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
