Lilypond draws running trills by using a series of "r" glyphs from the feta font. But these are jagged, like a mordent. On all the scores I have access to,
trill lines are wavy/sinusoidal.
Is there a way of getting wavier trill lines?


I leave it to the Postscript hackers on the mailing list to define a
sinusoidal line type.

Also, is there a way to get lilypond output at "actual size" (100%) magnification in Acrobat Reader to look good? Certainly the default scaling it uses is pretty ugly. At least on my machine, staff lines need to be exactly 5.25 points apart to get even spacing and even staff line widths (it seems Reader uses 4 pixels for 3 points).

Are you sure "Page Scaling" in the print dialog box is set to None? That one messed me up for a while.
