Re: I can not see the notes

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you produce a PS version of your score using ly2dvi -P, and then
convert it to PDF, you will get bitmapped fonts which looks ugly
on the screen (even though it prints well). ly2dvi --pdf tries to
use Type1 versions (scalable vector fonts) of the fonts. Apparently
you don't have them installed. Please see
