Re: newbie:poor quality output

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that you have some installation problems, even though it's hard
to say exactly what the problem is without seeing an example PDF file
and the printouts of
lilypond --verbose yourfile.ly

On the other hand, I really recommend to install LilyPond version 2.6
instead. It has several improvements over the, by now fairly old, 
version 2.4
included in Debian. The universal Linux installation package available at
www.lilypond.org should work out of the box on Debian Sarge.
