The Postscript code used to draw the beams, just specifies a rectangle
with straight lines between the corners, so the jagged look all depends
on what you have done to the file and how you view it.
I assume that you refer to what the score looks like when you view
a PDF version of it with Acrobat. Unfortunately, the only solution
I know of is to change a setting in Acrobat. In
Edit-Preferences-General, you can click at "Smooth line art"
(the options may look different your Acrobat version) to get nice
smooth beams also on screen.
If you are talking about PNG files, try a higher resolution.

Hi:
This may not be a lilypond issue, but I'm asking the list anyway.
I've been asked to provide online samples with "smoother" beams; the
complaint is that the sloped beams are jagged-looking (even though they
look fine when they're printed out).
Is there a tweak that will make the beams a little less jagged? Would
this entail picking up new fonts (or making new fonts)?
Thanks for any help.
Doug
