Your trick is certainly tweakable. But besides that, the situation is
exactly the same:
1.- it looks wrong in LilyPond Tool
2.- it looks okay in evince
3.- it prints even worse both from evince and via lpr.

You'll agree in that a solution should not depend on a given media.

How could I debug this or know what is happening?
