Two very insteresting things I saw when I loaded that: 1. the page started rendering before the whole file was downloaded, and the part that was late to download including the music font, so the first two lines displayed with the wrong fonts. A reload caused the page to render properly. I've never seen that before, ever, and think it must be a change in the rendering in the Adobe Reader 8 browser plugin. 2. the hairpins are very badly anti-aliased in the rendering onscreen. I have to bump up the magnification to 600% for the lines to smooth out. I don't understand why that is the case, as the anti- aliasing for relatively flat beams is much less severe. Is anyone else seeing this, or is this perhaps an artifict of WinXP ClearType rendering (I haven't fired up the Win2K box to check)? -- David W.
