Noteheads in PDF files

Hi,
I printed out a PDF file from Notion3, but the noteheads in it are unbeautiful, or skewed.
The file is http://www.box.net/shared/kfexucptdg. I'm using Bullzip PDF printer, color, 600dpi.

Does anybody know the work-around?

Hi!

Greetings, fellow Overture user! :)

I checked out the PDF and can't see what you see. Here's a screen capture of the PDF you sent: does it look the same as on your computer? If yes, can you explain a bit more in detail what you see wrong in it?

If not, then it's probably some local problem on your computer... are you on mac or windows? If on windows, then maybe it's a problem of your PDF-creator? I could see your PDF, but if it shows differently on your computer, then it's maybe something in how your PDF creator links the font? Hmm... I don't know. But try some other creator, I remember using this one when I was on Window: http://www.pdf995.com/

May I also ask how you created such a big text in Notion ("vivace...")? I haven't found a way to change the font size.

Hi posssu,

Thank you very much.
Noteheads in the picture you attached are beautiful, so, as you wrote, this problem may be local. I will try other PDF printers. I'm using Windows Vista x64.

I just entered a metronome (shift+_), and double-clicked it, and added "vivace...."in the box. Nothing special. But, I also can't change the font size.

Does Notion treat the right hand and left hand on the piano separately in terms of dynamics? It seems a little odd to me having two mp markings.
