What compatibility are you needing?
As I've used the old function in existing scores, I'd like
to avoid changing them all to use the new function. That's
the kind of compatibility I'd be needing.
Forgive me, but did I not invent that function only two weeks ago? How
busy have you been to have used it in so many scores?! (:
But, really, it should involve little more than a find-and-replace to
convert the older usage to the newer. Here's a bash script to do the
work:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sed 's/\\override\s\+NoteHead\.color\s*=\s*\\highlightOutOfRange\s\+\('\
'#\(([^)]\+)\|\S*\)\s*\)\?\([a-z,'"'"']\+\s\+[a-z,'"'"']\+\)/\\highlig'\
'htPitches \1outside { \3 }/g' $1
Given an example input fragment...
\override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange #(x11-color 'tomato) c'
c''
\new Voice \with { \override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange #red
c' c'' }
\relative c' { c d \once \override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange
c' c'' e f }
...the script outputs the following:
\highlightPitches #(x11-color 'tomato) outside { c' c'' }
\new Voice \with { \highlightPitches #red outside { c' c'' } }
\relative c' { c d \once \highlightPitches outside { c' c'' } e f }
But since sed works on a line-by-line basis, it will not be able to
detect cases when you have spread the \override across multiple lines.

What compatibility are you needing?
I intended \highlightPitches to be a significant upgrade to my earlier
\highlightOutOfRange, which I would no longer recommend using.
Of course, it is not a drop-in replacement, as there were several
significant changes in its interface and usage:
% original %
\override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange c' c''
% new %
\highlightPitches outside { c' c'' }
Of note, the \override is now encapsulated within the new music
function; and when specifying multiple pitches, they must be enclosed in
curly braces.
Yet it is that second change in interface that ultimately permits what
you had requested:
% requested (though invalid) syntax %
instrumentRange = c' c''
\override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange \instrumentRange
% realized syntax %
instrumentRange = { c' c'' }
\highlightPitches outside \instrumentRange
Please let me know if I am overlooking a critical detail in your use
case where my newer function would not be fit for purpose.

The function would need to be modified to support syntax like that.
I took some time to generalize a few things and add some additional
usability. Consider the following updated version:
\version "2.19.83"
highlightPitches = #(define-music-function
(color method music)
((color? red) symbol? ly:music?)
"Applies the specified @var{color} to a @code{NoteHead} and its
associated @code{Accidental} when the pitch lies within the range
defined by @var{method} and @var{music}. Supported methods are
@code{below}, @code{above}, @code{outside}, and @code{inside}.
Notes within @var{music} may appear in any order. Pitches are
compared given their respective distance to Middle C."
(define (pitch-tones\new Staff \with { \highlightPitches #magenta outside { fes' bis' } }
\melody
\new Staff \with { \highlightPitches inside { bis' fes' } } \melody
Note that code above is almost compatible with 2.18.2. You should only
need to modify the declaration of the function to explicitly accept the
parser and location arguments as required in the older version:
% ...
highlightPitches = #(define-music-function
(parser location color method music)
((color? red) symbol? ly:music?)
% ...
When using this new function, you can choose to define the note range in
a variable or simply wrap up the whole thing:
% ...
instrumentRange = { c' c'' }
highlightOutOfRange = \highlightPitches outside \instrumentRange
{ g''4 \once \highlightOutOfRange g'' g'' }

I'm building that library, using info from http://www.orchestralibrary.com/reftables/rang.html and wondering how I could (scheme question, I guess) define the 2 parameters passed to "highlightOutOfRange" function as variables.

Re: drawing a range reguardless of transposition
Why not put it in the underlying "input" then?
melody = {
\override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange e' b'
\relative c' { c4 d e f }
}
You could even define a shortcut for this:
melodyRange = \override NoteHead.color = \highlightOutOfRange e' b'
melody = {
\melodyRange
\relative c' { c4 d e f }
}

Actually, I'm thinking I'd build a database of available ranges for instruments and players / singers, so that when a score is intended for playing by known people I'd just reference their names in the score... --strk;

Thanks, "ambitus" works great for a start.
