Re: lilypond-book/LateX Beamer: best rendering practice?

[Florian Hollerweger]

Hi Phil,

I'll go and do as you say, but wouldn't I be facing the problem that pdflatex 
has its own ideas at which resolution to actually render PNGs?

That's precisely why I have ended up using graphics in PDF format whenever I 
can with pdflatex, but maybe I should investigate LaTeX rendering options other 
than *pdf*latex...

Best,
flo.H
