(inconsistent thickness)

Concerning strokeadjust at "natural" settings (off) when converting to PDF  
and then printing via GhostScript, it turns out that staff lines switch  
between 5 and 6 pixels of thickness at 600dpi.  Quite noticeable.  The  
cleanest way might be to snap some essential line thicknesses to integer  
multiples of 1/300dpi or so right in the stencils instead of relying on  
strokeadjust to do this.  If strokeadjust can be left off, this avoids the  
occasional 1-pixel geometry mismatch at various corners: after all,  
strokeadjust has to remove pixels from a line that has been designed to fit  
together with another line.

At the current point of time, however, I see few alternatives to leaving  
strokeadjust on unconditionally and tolerating 1-pixel overshoots at  
corners.  Those are less distracting than full staff lines that are one  
pixel too large.
