Interesting and strange! I don't know in de detail how these programs work. The ghostscript version definitely looks much better. Will this difference still be there on paper when the score is printed ? Or is it just a screen issue ? And what about other alternative PDF viewers like okular, evince, xpdf (on Linux) or other alternative PDF viewers that exist (I just don't know them, I never use Windows) for Windows? -- Martin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
