Comment #25 on issue 4418 by address@hidden: Patch: add  
stencil-whiteout-outline function
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4418

The default didn't really change.  The patch uses a convert-ly rule to  
change existing \whiteout to \whiteout-box, specifically because I found so  
many uses of \whiteout\pad-around as in comment %19.  The documentation  
uses \whiteout-box because of the convert-ly rule.

I would recommend \whiteout over \whiteout-box for most situations.  The  
square whiteout quite generally causes artifacts worse than shown in  
comment #19.  See, for example the workaround for issue 621 at
 https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=621#c11
There is a faint ghost of the barline; zoomed in below, we see that  
\whiteout-box artifact compared with the new \whiteout.

The ghost barline from \whiteout-box is a bit distracting when seen on the  
music stand.  The jagged outline of \whiteout looks like the messy pattern  
of ink in the metal that was pushing up by the 'd' engraving die, and does  
not bother me at normal scale.  It would only bother the lilypond engraver,  
and only if he chooses to zoom in quite far.
