Hi,
Is there a set of settings to make LP output lighter? Setting
line-thickness = \staff-space / 16
seems a good start, but I assume there's more to it.
I've tried to make it lighter, for a particular publication --
there is some settings

If you look at a good score of anything that was printed before the
time of computers, you can see that Lilypond looks 'almost like real
music', and Sibelius looks 'like a computer'
This does not necessarily mean that old scores look better than new
This will always be a kludge. The font and the line width settings are
tuned together. If you really want to do this, you have to recompile
LilyPond including the fonts, and update the definitions for the fonts
too.

I think I found an explanation. My score sample was typeset with

I'd expected the line thickness to scale accordingly, but apparently
this is not the case (4.2.1, Setting the staff size):

Hi,

While I'm sure there is, I'll say that lilypond's heavier look is
intentional (see http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/typography-features)
. I'll say that the lighter look of the scores produced by most other
programs makes them almost impossible for me to read, at the very
