I have only a couple of non-free apps on my Ubuntu machines, and Acrobat Reader is one of them because of this problem. :(

p.s. BTW, Apple's Preview also seems to render lilypond-generated .pdf files badly compared to Acrobat Reader. At least when I print them they look terrible from Preview.

I noticed that Evince (I have Fedora 8 with Evince 2.20.2) does a

prints as well, but the effect on LilyPond scores is dramatic.

See for yourself: http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/lpev.png .

Image left is scanned from a print by Acrobat, the image right is a
scan from a print produced by Evince. Both programs printed to the
same 600dpi HP Laserjet which involves a Ghostscript filter.

This may be a known issue, though I could not find any references to
it.

I reported the same problem with very similar pictures. This seems to
be a fault of the bad rendering Evince does from the thin rounded
rectangles that LilyPond makes for barlines. Use kpdf. :-(
