Hello Ben
Yes I have installed the program (and the frescobaldi editor) on an
old linux computer I have laying around.
And I have also checked that lilypond has the basic functionallity
(colored/numbered noteheads, and midi output) needed.
However, in the documentation you are reffering to they are assining
colors to individual noteheads, but I want a consistant use of color.
I.e. all "g-s" should be colored red, all "sharp g-s" have a "2" as
the note head and so on.
I'm not sure I understand correctly, but doesn't that deviate completely
from the image you sent with your first post?
But it is very possible to apply predefined colors to specific pitch
classes or use a number for other pitch classes. To achieve such things
we have so-called callback functions that are called when a note is to
be printed. It can then check for some conditions (e.g. the pitch class)
and modify the object to be printed. So it's possible to set a certain
color to a pitch or replace the note head (and apply color if you want).
It would be very nice if it would be easily possible to transpose(?
not sure this is the correct English word) the score should we get a
different vocalist at some time in the future..
If you transpose a score, say, one whole note downwards then an a' will
become a g'. Do I understand correctly that this note should then also
get the color fo the g'?
Then it is totally straightforward: if you transpose the music an a'
will become a g', and the process described in the previous paragraph
will be applied to the g'.

Hello all
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to LilyPond and musical
scoremaking in general, so please correct me if I am not behaving
according to this lists rules.
(I also have very limited experience with the musical terms in
English, so please correct me if there is something obviously wrong.)
The thing is that my grown son (23years this year) is playing in
a Rock Band consisiting of 7members all having some degree of
mental disablility.
There are 2 keyboardists, a simplified bass, and a simplified
guitar, and a vocalist using scores or lyrics, and 2
drummers/percusionists who manage without.
The thing is that they are using "Dissimilis Notation
<http://arkiv.soh.no/pictures/original/fargesystem.jpg>",
(octaves have no relevance for us) where the note pitch is shown
using a mix of colors and numbers, and duration is basically
given by some assistant pointing to the color to be played. (In
general the beat is almost allways 4/4, the keyboards play hole
notes, the bass halfnotes, the guitar quarter notes, and they
only change notes/chords at the beginning of the new bar. I have
attached a PDF as an example (usually there are many more bars,
but it seams Hungry Hart can be played by repeating these 4 over
and over again.
I was hopeing it would be possible to use lilypond to produce
scores with a mixture colored/numbered noteheads, and also MIDI
files to play the voices of any missing bandmember should they
not be able to attend a rehersal. Also good "pointers" are hard
to find, and even harder to keep over time, so if their job could
be "automated away" to some degree, it would make the future much
more predictable.
Hi Hallvard,
It is certainly possible to create colored notes, stems, etc. in
LilyPond...have you already downloaded and installed the program?
To get you started, here is a page from the documentation that talks
about coloring objects:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/inside-the-staff#coloring-objects
Once you decide what notes you would like to input, and on what staff
type you would like, etc. then you can begin to tweak the colors
until you are satisfied.
Also, MIDI output is possible in LilyPond as well, and you can choose
whichever GM instrument you'd like to use in the event of a performance.
Also also, welcome to LilyPond :)
