Well, it helps some, but why do I get an error when I try the same thing
with hairpins?
error: syntax error, unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER
r4 d4 \p d d | \repeat "unfold" 4 {d1~} | d1 \once
\override Hairpin #'color = #blue \cr | d1 | d1 \f
(using 2.11.43 on Windows XP)
and where can I put the variable redDyn in my .ly file? Everywhere I try
seems to give me errors, which is why I just put the \override right in
with the music.
Finally, when does one have to include the context, like \once \override
Voice.DynamicText #'color = #blue?
Thanks for your help.

Dynamics are DynamicText graphical objects (grobs); if you look at
the bottom of the corresponding page
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-
internals/DynamicText#DynamicText>
you'll see that one of the interfaces DynamicText supports is the
grob-interface; on *that* page (which is conveniently linked),
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-
internals/grob_002dinterface#grob_002dinterface>
you'll find the property to set. To save you the trouble (this
time ;) I've included it here, as a variable:
redDyn = \once \override DynamicText #'color = #red

Anything that inherits the grob-interface *should* be color-able...
and that's just about everything in the 'Pond. =)
HTH,
