(There are a certain few grobs--Hairpin is an example--which have default settings for this property, however.. To deal with that, I make sure that the default value of 'after-line-breaking is returned after I have made my changes to 'color.) There are two such dummy properties distinguished by when they are called: before-line-breaking and after-line-breaking. The timing can be crucial. Let's say you want to change pieces of broken spanners. You need to look for the pieces within 'after-line-breaking, because the spanner will still be whole when 'before-line-breaking is evaluated. The issue with the current file is (1) calling the music function adds a pair for after-line-breaking at the head of the properties alist; (2) a user's advanced functions will add a pair for after-line-breaking as well (3) we want to get rid of (1) when deciding whether to color, but we need (2) to be evaluated This can be resolved, but I'm too tired to deal with it right now. Hope this helps! David P.S. I'm wondering if it would be cleaner to modify the music expression--that is, what is returned by \displayMusic, rather than the approach taken here. I'll have a look.
