Bug ID: 416796 Summary: Display of music on staff lines are difficult to read Product: okular Version: 1.3.3 Platform: MS Windows OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: PDF backend Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org Reporter: johntheron...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 125444 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=125444&action=edit screen photograph of sheet music with thick and thin staff lines SUMMARY sheet music staff lines are uneven STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Load a sheet music pdf file prepared by program Smartscore X2 2. save it as a pdf 600 dpi with any of three converters Scansoft PDF Create,Gaaiho PDF, PDF Creator 3. When I open any of these files in Okular The lines in the music staffs are thicker and thinner, the thick lines are difficult for musicians to read as they oclude some notes and look line music staff ends so that the interpretation of the notes are difficult These thick and thin lines occur on 7 of my other pdf readers but do not happen in Smartscore x2 and do not occur in PDF Studio, and when these pdf's are printed on a epson wf3640 the lines are all the same width and look clean and sharp. OBSERVED RESULT. When I use Okular and several other pdf readers these thick and thin staff lines show up on my 24, 25, 23" monitors operating HDMI 1029 1940, If I zoom in to 200+ percent, the staff lines look like two parrallel lines on the screen instead of the single staff line that they should be. I create the sheet music by scanning it at 400 dpi into Smartscore x2, it does OCR and I edit the sheet music leaving only the singer's line, then I save it as an enf file for further editing, and save it as a pdf file for display to play the music. The displays on Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi have the thick and thin lines in the music staff. I recently downloaded PDF Studio and it displays even lines. I would prefer to continue to use Okular on my RPI's as it is stable and has a good command set and nice display EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Raspian for RPI 3 and RPI 4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION my okular version is 1.3.2 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
