Comment #2 on issue 982 by address@hidden: web big-html and pdf  
look bad
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=982

The image sizes on big-html are almost certainly fine, if the images were  
there at all - see Issue 1663.  For the pdf, the images we create are too  
big to fit across one page of the PDF.  The images are created by this:

$(outdir)/%-small.png: $(outdir)/%.png
        pngtopnm $< | pnmscale -w=600 | pnmtopng > $@

in Documentation/web/ly-examples/GNUmakefile.

The w=600 means they're 600 pixels wide, which is ~6" and is just too  
wide.  To correct this would mean 2 changes: add a line to create a smaller  
image for the PDF; and check why thy appear so bad in the PDF anyway - they  
appear badly scaled up. I'm looking at this.
