From time to time, users complain that the display of lilypond PDF
files with acroread or xpdf looks awkward on screen. In such
cases, I
strongly recommend to use ghostscript itself to view the PDF file,
or
a wrapper program like gv or gsview.
Have a look at the attached image: the left part shows the
rendering
result of a piece (compiled with lilypond 2.13.1) with gv (at 25%
scaling, using gs 8.64), and the right part is with acroread 8.1.5
(at
58.6% scaling). What a difference.
When I moved to Vista I was very disappointed
with the on-screen appearance of pdfs in Adobe
Reader. Then I found and adjusted the Page
Display preferences. Now it's absolutely fine.
The default settings were clearly not optimum.
I can't remember now which particular settings
were important, but the ones under Resolution and
Rendering look significant.
