It's not perfect, but it certainly has a better feature set than xpdf. Scores look okay in Acroread, better in GhostView (IMPO). And as mentioned, using "gv --watch" gives me a near-realtime environment for the edit/compile/view cycle.

Re: Displaying scores
You can also use gv or ghostview(?) to view PDF files (in addition to PS files). /Mats Quoting Joseph Wakeling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Chuckk Hubbard wrote: I am using evince to view Lilypond's pdf output, and in fairly simple things (output by Rosegarden), and I'm seeing note stems of different thicknesses.

Displaying scores
I am using evince to view Lilypond's pdf output, and in fairly simple
things (output by Rosegarden), and I'm seeing note stems of different
thicknesses. If I zoom in, they are still different thicknesses, and
some of the stems don't exactly line up against the noteheads. Is
there another Linux pdf viewer that is more accurate?
I have Lilypond 2.8.6.
