Having looked some more at the documentation and code, I now realise that the 
gray shading indicates various trills. There are many possibilities, but one to 
indicate just a partially covered hole displayed in black seems to be missing. 
I suggest allowing the notation e.g. "one1hF" to indicate a half covered filled 
hole. It is currently not valid. This would need a change to 
`make-symbol-alist` in define-woodwind-diagrams.scm. My Scheme-fu is currently 
not sufficient to make that change, but I suppose I could figure it out 
eventually.

Why not just use "one" to indicate a half-covered hole?  Since there is no 
graphical difference between a half-filled hole and a filled hole, it seems 
like there does not need to be a separate notation for the half-filled whole in 
the input.

Sure there is a difference, see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/woodwind-diagrams for 
"one1qT3q" for instance. Using "one 1h" as of now, the hole is displayed half 
covered gray. I'd like some way to display it half covered black without 
breaking existing usage.

Oh, I misunderstood what you wanted.  I thought you wanted to have a black 
filled hole, not a black half-filled hole.

One way to do this would be to develop a new notation, as you suggest.   I 
would suggest that a notation of one1hB would be better than one1hF, because 
both the default half-covered diagram and the new half-covered diagram are 
half-filled; the difference is the color.

Another way would be to have a property that defines the fill color.  The 
default value for the property would be gray, but it could be set to black.  Or 
potentially any other color that was wanted (say red, or green, or yellow).

Thanks,

Carl
