What is difference between these two files?
Any comment is welcome.

The second example has some stem issues with 16th notes.

I don't know how it is rendered on your screen, what do you mean as "issue"?

I don't see any difference at all between the two. I even rotated the page so I could cross my eyes to see the difference (since I couldn't see anything different in the normal orientation) and I didn't see any aberrations in what my left eye saw vs what my right eye saw. Is there something truly different?

Grace note ledger line have different thickness, but I wouldn't have found it if I had not been looking for, well... anything.

Correct.
This is my test, which is connected and resulted from another thread. IMO, the grace notes and cautionary clefs should be emboldened to correct the BW-balance with the rest of music. Finale and I guess Sibelius don't do this, but just resize everything equally. The difference between thin lines of reduced symbols and the rest of regular sized music dramatically increases, which makes a "drop" in the visual perception and quick assimilation by musicians.

The items which are manually edited are:
- cautionary G clef is emboldened slightly
- grace-ledger lines are equal to normal ledger lines
- grace-stems are equal to normal stems
- grace-accidentals are emboldened

If none has noticed anything dramatic, it means this can be a good way to do this.
P.s. my ledger lines are pretty heavy, but my point here is to have the same thickness both graces and normals.
P.s.2 some items like g-clef could be emboldened even more. Knut has done a good versions of boldness: not all parts of the clef should be equally emboldened.

I agree. This is essentially the same problem that arises when mixing different staff sizes in the same score.

In a widely spaced score like this, very slight changes are harder to see than in a denser score. Also, as I mentioned in another thread, a bolder music font is less sensitive to this issue than the incredibly thin fonts à la Maestro.

OCTO, your thickness revisions are excellent. However, the revision to the grace note stems is what caused the stem issue I noted above. A screen shot:

John, that is correct. I just didn't have time to edit also these. It was to late...
