All the note heads had small boxes around them. I wonder if their printer was set to too high of a resolution ?? I can't test any of this at present I have only, an old epson available to me with up to 720 - but no 1200 dpi res. I'm trying to get to some foolproof way to insure that my lilypond music pdf's will universally print correctly. Telling recipients they should use Adobe Acrobat and (not winword) for pdf's, and 720 dpi res. is a reasonable start I suppose. There seems to be evidence of conflicts between generators and viewers and maybe some other quirks for this behavior. I have seen from time to time, similar complaints about the notehead boxes. Maybe some others have had experience with it - found some ways to avoid it or other relevant insight.

I don't think it's a matter of resolution, but some GDL printers can't handle the output from Adobe Reader. Mostly checking print as image (or how it is called) in the printing dialog helps. But I guess the boxes 'round the noteheads are from the links (point and click) - usable for debugging, but useless for readers.

emailed lilypond pdf's printout missing note bodies on reciepent's computer
Hello I have sent, via email, a lilypond pdf to be printed out so the receiver may be able to play the piece - unfortunately, they're printout was not legible. All the note bodies were printed as small squares, but it seems all else - lines, bars, ties, flags, etc were intact. I'm guessing the receipents computer did not have the feta, or a suitable font installed. It would be very useful if we could somehow be guaranteed that our finished pdf music could be universally printed correctly regardless of operating system, or weather lilypond components were installed. The only thing I could think of for these folks that have no idea what music score software is about, was to have them install the feta font. This is not quite intuitive for everyone, and seems a clumsy un-elegant solution. Please help with any thoughts on this, and as well as post to the list, send me email. I am not presently subscribed. I'll Probably subscribe in future as time permits. Thanks for any help on this.
