Re: printed bars thickness inconsistencies

[Jean-Alexis Montignies]

It looks much better on screen (Preview.app: MacOS X system renderer) and on 
Xerox Phaser 5400! 

Remains a little bit of smearing on the top of the staff, but this is much less 
than before and could be some rounding/smoothing issue in the renderers. More 
specifically, on screen, the horizontal edge of the barline rect looks not 
smoothed, while the vertical edge is. Don't know enough about PS if this can be 
controlled, or if it's really an issue (in any case minor).

Thickness looks consistent now.

Thanks!
