Re: color change working in only upper staff (solved)
sorry to all who had responded to this question (with better solutions than mine). For some reason I didn't get notified of these posts so I didn't see them until now.
Re: color change working in only upper staff (solved)
I discovered one needs to override the color change within each voice,
rather than in the staff definition. Probably it's somewhere in the
documentation, though I could not find it. Here is the working version:
\version "2.20.0"
upper = \relative c'' {
\override Fingering.color = #red
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 3/4
a-1 cis' \tuplet 3/2 {8~ }
}
lower = \relative c {
\override Fingering.color = #red
\clef bass
\key g \major
\time 3/4
<< { \override Fingering.color = #red f'1}-2\\{\override Fingering.color =
#red r4. e32-1 cis-2 a-4 f-1 d2-2}>>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano "
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}

Staff context is not needed here (see
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/internals/fingering_005fengraver
)
Here's a modified code with few shorcuts:
\version "2.20"
upper = \relative { %% <= c'' not needed
%\override Fingering.color = #red
%\clef treble %% <= default clef, not needed
\key c \major
%\time 4/4 %% <= default time signature, not needed
a'-1 cis' \tuplet 3/2 { 8~ q q } %% <= shorter chords
}
lower = \relative { %% <= c not needed
%\override Fingering.color = #red
\clef bass
\key c \major
%\time 4/4 %% <= default time signature, not needed
<< { f'1-2 } \\ { r4. e32-1 cis-2 a-4 f-1 d2-2 } >>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
%\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano " %% <= see hereunder
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\override Fingering.color = #red
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
instrumentName = #"Piano"
\override InstrumentName.padding = #2 %% <= more accurate than
spaces
}
}
\midi { }
}
Cheers,
Pierre

Re: color change working in only upper staff
Hey Jim,
To be honest, I'm not sure why the example you posted doesn't work, but
I was able to find a workaround by using \contexts to apply the override
to each staff, like so.
\version "2.20.0"
upper = \relative c'' { % remove \override
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
a-1 cis' \tuplet 3/2 {8~ }
}
lower = \relative c { % remove \override
\clef bass
\key c \major
\time 4/4
<<{f'1}-2\\{r4. e32-1 cis-2 a-4 f-1 d2-2}>>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano "
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
*\layout { **
** \context {**
** \Staff**
** \override Fingering.color = #red**
** }**
** }*
\midi { }
}

This line could be changed to read
>\override Staff.Fingering.color = #red
which “speaks” to the right context.
You could also replace the two \override with something like this:
> \score {
>\new PianoStaff <<
> \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano "
> \override PianoStaff.Fingering.color = #red
which affects all the Staff contexts included.

Re: color change working in only upper staff
Hi David, thanks, I have attached a 1-measure example that illustrates the
problem. The upper staff is showing the requested color for the
fingering. I can see now that it has to do with the <<{}\\{}>> construct.

You need to come up with an actually compiling full example showing the
problem. The above is not useful and most certainly does not show
anything related to the actual problem.

color change working in only upper staff
I want to change the fingering color to red in my piano score.
Using
upper = \relative c'' {
\override Fingering.color = #red
for the upper staff works, but adding the same for the lower staff
lower = \relative c {
\override Fingering.color = #red
leaves the fingering in black in the lower staff. The compiler gives no
error message about it. I tried commenting out the first override to see
if that has some effect on the second one, but no.
