that's an interesting point and perhaps in the future that will become more
standard, but I would reckon not until the displays are higher resolution,
to match that of paper.  In any case, that's not the only use for producing
music notation.....for putting on a music stand to play.  Simply producing
notation for the sake of study, producing lessons, etc..there are many uses
that would be very handy to be completely useable and viewable on-screen. 
Really, in an ideal situation, you should be able to look at it on the
screen and think to yourself "ah, what nice looking notation", then print it
out and say "holy cow what beautiful notation".  Or at worst, at least if
lilyond provided options to choose one way or the other...

There is also the point that if I am going to share or even sell a piece of
sheet music online, then most likely I would want to distribute it in PDF
form.  There is a certain polish factor that would come from the PDf looking
right.  instead of the person opening my PDF file and thinking "ick", I want
them to open it up and think, ah, nice.....then if they like it, print it
out.
