As has been noted in some discussion on the email lists, the fonts in LilyPond are generally on the heavy side, compared to most other typesetting software. However, the main hackers have deliberately choosen these font dimensions, inspired by hand engraved music by publishers such as Baerenreiter. If you compare http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Rests#Rests and http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Rests.html#Rests you will see that the rest layout in LilyPond hasn't changed for a long time. /Mats Scott Miller wrote:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=322 Thanks, Here is an example. I recently made a part for a player who commented that the whole and half rests looked much to large compared to everything else on the page. I'm not sure if this is a just matter of personal preference, and therefore a non-issue? I'm curious to get feedback on this issue.

Thanks all, Could you create a minimal example of this? http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/bugs If you could create a png with an earlier version of lilypond to demonstrate the difference, that would be great.
