Yes, I've seen that page and it works for indvidual NoteHeads. I do not want to colour the note heads, I want to color the ornament (articulation) over it.
I just do not know how to specify the ornament specifically. I Know that it is linked to or is a property of the NoteHead, i jut don't know how to name it. You can see that I've taken parts of the syntax for individual notes, but that doesn't get the ornament. Lilypond chokes after NoteHead.articulation. -type halts the program. > > % articulation-type (string) > > color = \override NoteHead.articulation-type "mordent" = #darkred > > > > Lilypond complains about the "-type" and also complains about > > "-mordent", so that is not right, but I do not know where to go from > > here. > > > > Help on this would be appreciated, > > > http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Objects-connected-to-the-input > > try e.g. > { > c4-\tweak #'color #red -\prall > } > I have successfully all the notes of one voice, but this did not catch the ornaments. It was interesting, but not what I wanted Cheers, David P.S. I just tried the \tweak solution again and got this error: Bach_bwv814.ly:33:0: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING rhOne = { Bach_bwv814.ly:41:32: error: syntax error, unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER b'8.\tweak #'color #red \mordent[ cs''16 ] d''16[ b' e'' b' ] fs''8[ b'~ ] b'16[ b' e'' d'' ] | % bar 1 Bach_bwv814.ly:82:8: error: errors found, ignoring music expression %%%% I believe the problem is that I am not naming the object I'm trying to color correctly. There is another post about coloring a Cautionary accidental <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00275.html> His problem was that he called the object Voice.Accidental. This is incorrect, it should be AccidentalCautionary. Thats why i think I'm naming the object incorrectly. Cheers again ∂œ -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.
