Thanks all,
I figured out last night where to put the overrides to make them work.
r4 d4 \p d d \repeat "unfold" 3 {d1~} \once \override Hairpin #'color =
#blue d1 \< d1 d1 d1
\once \override DynamicText #'color = #blue d4 \f d d d \p
d \once \override DynamicTextSpanner #'color = #blue \cresc d d \f d |
So the override goes immediately before the note which a \f or \< is
connected to, and it goes immediately before a \cresc
(DynamicTextSpanner).
Now, Mats' solution I don't get. Why does the override go *after* the \cr?
My last question is where to put the variable definition
blueDyn = \once \override Hairpin #'color = #blue
When I put it at the top of the file, it gives errors:
Parsing...
c:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/english.ly:15:0:
error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
pitchnamesEnglish = #`(
c:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/english.ly:130:13:
error: unknown escaped string: `\pitchnamesEnglish'
pitchnames =
\pitchnamesEnglish
etc.
