I need better PDF output. printed sheet music is not the only reason for
needing to produce music notation. Lilypond will not work for me in that
regard. I may or may not still use it for printing if it will not
involve
too much duplication of work. I do really like the printed output of
Lilypond a lot. Its beautiful. But it is sad I can't use lilypond for
the
whole thing. There are plenty of reasons why someone would want some
decent
looking PDF files by the way. The ones produced now are really crap.
not
slightly bad. Crap. Finale suffers the same fate. Whatever the
technlogy
that would be needed to make Lilypond produce better looking PDF's in
addition to the beautiful printed pages..consider this my official plea
to
the developers to try to do that.

I just tried converting the postscript file that lilypond generates to PDF
using both the built-in conversion in the Mac OS and Adobe Acrobat
Professional and here are the results: The built-in Mac OS conversion
looks
the same as what Lilypond produces (likely also uses Ghostscript) but here
is the surprising part: Acrobat professional produces noticeably worse
looking file despite setting it for higher quality display.
