Hi David,
For these examples I was on Windows 7 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer
set to either 600 or 1200dpi, sorry I can't recall. These were done late
last night. But that's the only PDF printer option I use when printing to
PDF, regardless of program.
Also I had thought I renamed all the images correctly after working last
night but it looks like I left one untouched and uploaded it. The
'during-input' was the name I gave it to remind me that that particular
image was what I saw while inputting into Frescobaldi. Sorry about that.
I'll try that 2.19 option and see if I can play around with the thickness.
Thanks!
