From time to time, users complain that the display of lilypond PDFfiles with acroread or xpdf looks awkward on screen. In such cases, I strongly recommend to use ghostscript itself to view the PDF file, ora wrapper program like gv or gsview.Have a look at the attached image: the left part shows the renderingresult of a piece (compiled with lilypond 2.13.1) with gv (at 25%scaling, using gs 8.64), and the right part is with acroread 8.1.5 (at58.6% scaling). What a difference.
When I moved to Vista I was very disappointed with the on-screen appearance of pdfs in Adobe Reader. Then I found and adjusted the Page Display preferences. Now it's absolutely fine. The default settings were clearly not optimum. I can't remember now which particular settings were important, but the ones under Resolution and Rendering look significant. Trevor
