What does that mean? Resolution? How do you convert your PDF to whatever the printer accepts? > My PDFs are jagged as well so that's what made me believe it's not my > printer that's the issue. Depends. For 2.19, you might want to try the effect of the -dstrokeadjust option. That might reduce the total amount of line thickness variation. > The "stepped" look of the hairpins are even more jagged-looking on the > actual paper itself over the PDF, but it's still there. That very much appears like you are not properly converting your PDF for use with the "high quality" printer. > Please see attached images and if someone could please let me know if I'm > doing something wrong - or if there is a way to soften the hairpins - that > would be awesome! :) > > finale_14_line.png > <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n158826/finale_14_line.png> > > LilyPond_PDF_line_-_jagged.png > <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n158826/LilyPond_PDF_line_-_jagged.png> > > > LilyPond_-_during_input.png > <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n158826/LilyPond_-_during_input.png> > The first thing you are doing wrong is not describing at all what the images are supposed to be from. "LilyPond_-_during_input"? Seriously? My LilyPond files look like "c16 d e d r4" during input. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
