v2.9.22 (Win XP) I'm using the following command lines to create small musical fragments that I can later reference in a word processor document that has text and various musical excerpts:
EXAMPLE BEGIN To make a small useseable PNG snippet: "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe" --png -p "C:\Job015\smallsnippet.ly" To make a small EPS snippet: "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe" -b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts "C:\Job015\smallsnippet.ly" EXAMPLE END It's working great, except that the PNG files produced seem a little bit "fuzzy" to me. Is it my imagination, (my eyes are not as good as they were 40 years ago)? Is the quality of the PNG output a little on the low side? Can the default quality level be upped easily for a future release? Also I tried imbedding the accompanying .EPS file that is also outputted by the above command. But in my word processor they show up as a blank rectangle (Microsoft Word, Win XP). I have a suspician that the fonts are somehow not available in the EPS for Word to render properly, but the file sizes are around 200k for just a one measure snippet, so thats probably the fonts. Anyone else have these similar problem using musical fragments as either EPS or PNG? Ideally I would like to use the EPS files for embedding in other documents (because I assume they are lossless in terms of future quality). But I would need a fix for the possible bug with why the EPS files show up blank? For the time being the slightly fuzzy PNG files will have to do, until I can track down the EPS problem. (Note: the EPS command above I got straight from the user manual) Thanks to anyone who has already gone down this path and can provide some insight on either the PNG or EPS problems I'm having.
