Hi Lily fans,
I do not frequently post to this list. Usually, Lilypond works for me :-) Now, I've a
very strange feature request. I would like to have colour support in Lilypond.
Let me explain why. In the near future, I'm going to deal with the technical aspects
of Renaissance music and I would like to give presentations about it in my favourite
tool for making presentations: ConTeXt. For that sake, it would be very nice when I
could do something like \red{b2 c d e} to indicate a certain theme and \green{g2 a b
c} for say the countersubject of a fugue. So what I would like to have is not full
color support which would be overkill, but basic support giving parts of a score in a
color.
That's one. Now two. My second problem when making ConTeXt presentations with Lilypond
scores in it is that PDF file from Lily are still not optimal due to lacking Type1
fonts. Today, I tried a new program TeXTrace (on freshmeat.net search for textrace)
and I successfully ported two mf-only fonts hclassic and cbgreek (yes, I'm a
theologian) to Type1. I hope to do this one of the next days with the feta fonts too,
and then, we will eventually have beautiful pdfs out of Lily :-)
All the best,
Maarten Wisse
PS: just a warning. TeXTrace is not yet perfect, but the results are very promising
and in my view, useful already.
