Re: Automatic lyric colouring

I've been using this for a while now and sometimes the lyrics are randomly coloured black instead of being associated with the note colour. I've tried to find a pattern to it but there doesn't seem to be one. Anyone have any ideas? On 27 November 2016 at 16:42, Jack Mackenzie

Just to pipe in, although no idea: very interesting question! Looking forward to an answer! Jo' On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 12:01 PM +0100, "Urs Liska" > wrote: I *think* what is necessary here is an "engraver". This will process the stuff in a

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

I *think* what is necessary here is an "engraver". This will process the stuff in a second run-through and can determine what happens in other contexts at the same time. Probably too complicated if you're not already familiar with Scheme, but worth the effort for your use case, I think. There

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

Hi Jack, So, in such simple music probably no melisma. I don't work with lyrics but you would have to write a Scheme function for the lyrics that computes the pitch of the associated note and figures out the corresponding colour. Is it worth the complexity for such simple works? However, others

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

I worried that it might involve Scheme. I should certainly investigate it but I'm already extremely out of my depth! The material is simple but as I'm planning on compiling between 100-200 songs using up to 5 notes (for Kodaly/Orff-style music programmes), if the lyrics idea could work, I'd like

Take this song for example: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cu34bCPytiY/T4ZD9tR7CrI/FBE/gytZgtL4qTc/s1600/See+Saw+Up+And+Down+-+G.bmp I would want all the d notes one colour, and their lyrics the same colour, and all the b notes and their lyrics a different colour. This is for very young

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

Hi Jack, What do you mean exactly? The snippet colours noteheads according to their individual pitch. What if your word spans multiple pitches, what colour do you make it? This sounds somewhat illogical, or at the least confusing to read for a musician. Can you explain more? Andrew

Automatic lyric colouring

I'm trying to put together an engraver for educational purposes, with noteheads coloured according to a particular scheme, and lyrics following this colouring. I've used the snippet for notehead colouring successfully ( http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=572), using "\override NoteHead.color =
