Re: PDF woes

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Travis,

I have used Frescobaldi for very complex score work on the Mac for years and the output is razor sharp in the PDF output view.

Your experience would therefore tend to indicate there is something wrong with the setup of your Mac.

Can you tell us the exact OS release and Mac model?

You are still going to be doing all your input as text in Frescobaldi anyway - that's the point about lilypond! Frescobaldi has the nice ability to be able to click on an object oin the output and go to the source line, and conversely, to highlight some notes in the source and have them outlined in the output, and it can jump to the location. This makes a very fluent development environment, and I think partly accounts for its great popularity.

I have scoured google results for an answer to the Preview issue, but so far I cant find anything.

Well, I've checked it out and I'm kind of partial to the default editor primarily because it uses a much nicer looking vector output. To my eye, Frescobaldi's output view is rasterized at low resolution. I do all my input as text anyway, and don't use many shortcuts -- so with the links between the PDF output and the editor the default app was great for my workflow.
