that's an interesting point and perhaps in the future that will become more standard, but I would reckon not until the displays are higher resolution, to match that of paper. In any case, that's not the only use for producing music notation.....for putting on a music stand to play. Simply producing notation for the sake of study, producing lessons, etc..there are many uses that would be very handy to be completely useable and viewable on-screen. Really, in an ideal situation, you should be able to look at it on the screen and think to yourself "ah, what nice looking notation", then print it out and say "holy cow what beautiful notation". Or at worst, at least if lilyond provided options to choose one way or the other...
There is also the point that if I am going to share or even sell a piece of sheet music online, then most likely I would want to distribute it in PDF form. There is a certain polish factor that would come from the PDf looking right. instead of the person opening my PDF file and thinking "ick", I want them to open it up and think, ah, nice.....then if they like it, print it out.
