Yes, there is an "enhance thin lines" setting in Reader 9 (or perhaps in
8 as well), which should be turned off I think.
Good call! I never knew about this setting but it helps. The
barlines (for example) look much more natural without the enhanced
thin lines.
I've just done a little experiment of my own viewing the same
document in Acroread, Evince, and Ghostview. Acroread and Evince
were much better. Ghostview messed up the ties, slurs, and any
slanted 16th-note beams. No one has answered the question about
printing yet, so maybe I'll print the same page from each viewer
and see if there's any difference.

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.
