Sounds like a job for an image filter.

ps2pnm music.ps
gimp -i -b '
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "music001.pnm" "music001.pnm")))
    (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
    (plug-in-blur RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable)
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "music001.pnm" "music001.pnm")
    (gimp-image-delete image))' '(gimp-quit 0)'

Replace "plug-in-blur" with whatever effect you'd prefer. :)

Apologies if this has already been debated/discussed extensively, but ...

... in my experience with (beautiful) Barenreiter editions a quality that I feel most striking is the 'old-fashioned' look -- there are seldom razor sharp staff-lines (as tend to be produced by laser printers). Instead, it seems, minute variations ('imperfections') in print add a warmth ... and it's this
warmth that I feel is most lacking in lilypond output.

Wouldn't it be fairly easy add an 'soft/irregular edge' command to the
typesetting system?

Best,

Leo

PS I don't request this as a feature that I want personally so much as I think it would be one that could greatly enrich the (already superb) feel of lilypond
output.
