Comment #7 on issue 3708 by address@hidden: Patch: Change the default  
ANTI_ALIAS_FACTOR for documentation builds to 1
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3708

"that you may want to consider" is quite the understatement.  "The slurs in  
particular look considerably smoother with the anti-aliasing" is a proper  
observation since the slurs are a filled outline (and thus not antialiased  
in spite of -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 by current Ghostscript versions) rather  
than a stroked construct.

However, this also implies that we have _way_ to go before getting  
acceptable previews for LilyPond material together with acceptable print  
results.

It's not clear to me what the way forward is here.  It will probably help  
if we can do direct Cairo rendering: in that case, we don't need to take  
into account what GhostScript does at low resolutions in order to choose  
our compromises.
