thanks. :) i'm really happy with the output. i've been developing the house style through the typesetting of 8-10 pieces so far, and it's starting to look exactly how i'd like it.
mac preview doesn't seem to have the issues mentioned in janek's bug report. either that or i'm half blind… ;) i opened it up in illustrator, at high levels of magnification, the stems are slightly different, but that seems to change if i scroll around? i haven't noticed anything on printouts yet, but i'll keep an eye on that.
i've also attached two fretboard diagrams for teaching guitar that i knocked together last week for my girlfriend's teaching purposes. this is pure lilypond, the published version is integrated with chord diagrams and some more material in indesign. stole some snippets from LSR for adding background color.
regards,
sb
