When printing with kpdf this problem dissappeares. (The bar lines are still a bit thicker than the horizontal lines, but it looks as if this is intended.)

BTW, strange enough, that nobody else noticed this until today, being Evince the standard PDF viewer in Gnome. Today, while searching for a solution, I've noticed that the page preview of Evince already showed the problem, before the actual printing. So it is clear that it was not a driver- or printer- problem (provided that print preview is not done using the PPD of the printer in some strange way, sorry for my naïveness about this) -- Francisco Vila.

barline thickness
Here I attach two samples scanned from paper. Details below. My question is simply: am I the only person with this problem? Others would be, Is lilypond generating wrong PDFs? Is my printer wrong? Is ubuntu gutsy evince wrongly printing PDFs? Details: laserjet-png.png comes from a PNG generated by LilyPond with the --png -dresolution=600 commandline options. laserjet-pdf.png comes from a PDF generated by LilyPond. Both images are printed on a laserjet P2015dn at the default resolution (FastRes). This is 600dpi I think. Then I scanned the printed papers at 300 dpi. Clearly the PDF has a barline MUCH thicker than the PNG and it's not a matter of resolution (other vertical lines look fine). Wider views are available in: http://www.paconet.org/laserjet-png.png http://www.paconet.org/laserjet-pdf.png Thank you. My workaround these days is to generate and print only PNGs, but windows users also report this problem in other systems and printers. 2007/11/19, Paco Vila [EMAIL PROTECTED]: El Sun, 18 de Nov de 2007, a las 10:50:47PM +0100, Mats Bengtsson dijo: Paco Vila wrote: In 2.11.34, I've found that default barline thickness is a bit too thick, even printed at 1200 dpi.

Yes, thank you, but I think my problem is more serious than I thought. Barlines appear much, much thicker on printed paper than on PDF or PNG! Leftmost barline (the one on the left edge of the staff) appears thin, just like the staff lines. But standard barlines seem to be five or six times as thick; moreover, (try to explain well, Paco) their top and bottom ends are higher (and lower, respectively) than the topmost (resp. lowest) staff line, surpassing the system in length, as if they were surrounded by a rounded outline. On next days I'll try to scan a prined copy to show you what I'm saying. I have a recent Laserjet driven by PS drivers (I've heard that it works internally with PCL anyway). Has anybody a similar problem? Maybe it's just my printer. She doesn't seem to like LP too much. -- Francisco Vila.

Barline thickness, dashed barline
Thank for helping me out those questions: 1-I want to make barlines somewhat thinner, \override Barline #'thickness = #3.0 (and other values, put inside a layout block) didn't worked.. 2-I want to have another look for the dashed barline: \bar : I'd rather prefer a slimmer looking dashed line instead of dots..
