You're right. I tried your sample with my approach and see the problem.
Do you have any suggestions for options to use with pdftocairo?
I tried pdf2cairo -png input.pdf output.png
and the output wasn't anywhere near as good as what I see if I look at the
pdf with preview on my Mac.
It's frustrating that a PDF viewer does such a great job of rasterizing the
image and the only way I can get an equivalent .png is to take a screen shot
of it.

Not just horizontal and vertical lines. Also things like circles. The
appearance of, say, { b\1 b\2 b\3 b\4 } is a downside to this approach.
I just remembered another option:
Convert to PDF with -dstrokeadjust and then convert PDF to PNG with
pdftocairo. This approach is likely one of the slowest, but it's
basically what I used to batch-test what PDF previewers like Evince
would be likely to deliver.

And thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread for getting me this far along. The trick to getting the crisp horizontal and vertical lines while still getting anti-aliased curves is the ghostscript option -dGraphicsAlphaBits. When Lilypond produces a .png file it set this to 4. If you set it to 1 instead, you get horizontal and vertical lines that aren't anti-aliased. I have attached two images showing the difference. crisp.png was produced with -dGraphicsAlphaBits=1 and blurry.png was produced with -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4. My current workflow uses Lilypond to produce a .pdf. Then I convert the .pdf to .png with GIMP. I'm going to change this so that Lilypond produces a .ps file that I convert to .png with ghostscript. I won't save any steps, but I believe it will be faster and less error-prone.

If a line has a thickness of 1.5 pixels, its weight can only be represented properly using grayscaling. In a similar vein, if a line position is between raster points, you need grayscaling to move its position into the right place without changing the total weight. > This makes them look fuzzy. Ultimately, the only thing that works for getting proper positioning, thicknesses, unfuzziness is to match the distances to the available pixels. That's what http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3533> tries to do, but it does not really catch all required measurements. Alternatively, get a really high resolution device. There are a few changes one can do in the PostScript code (-dstrokeadjust is one such change), but they come with different drawbacks and have different effects depending on the rasterizers used. Everything else is the tuning of rasterization compromises. You can try going through other rasterizers by working, say, with Acrobat on the PostScript produced with LilyPond, or by going through the SVG backend. And you can try playing with Ghostscript's options for converting PostScript to PDF. > When I use GIMP to convert a pdf produced with Lilypond to a .png, I > get nice crisp verticals and horizontals, no anti-aliasing.

LilyPond does everything by writing PostScript files.

Try this:
\paper {
page-breaking = #ly:one-line-breaking
}
This should make the compilation much quicker. Also "\override
Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'line-break-permission = ##f" may be
useful.
