Hi Kevin,
You don't need to use Inkscape to colorize objects.
see :
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/visibility-and-color-of-objects#the-color-property
see also :
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/inside-the-staff#coloring-objects
here's a example with red and bold "bows" :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.0"
strUp = \rightHandFinger \markup\musicglyph #"scripts.upbow"
strDown = \rightHandFinger \markup\musicglyph #"scripts.downbow"
redStrDown = \rightHandFinger \markup\with-color #red \musicglyph
#"scripts.downbow"
magStrDown = \rightHandFinger \markup\magnify #1.1 \musicglyph
#"scripts.downbow"
boldStrDown = \rightHandFinger \markup\combine
\path #0.2 #'((moveto 0 0)(lineto 0 1)(lineto 1.2 1)(lineto 1.2 0))
\override #'(line-cap-style . square)
\translate #'(.15 . .8) \path #0.4 #'((moveto 0 0)(lineto .8 0))
\layout {
indent = 0
}
\new Staff
\with {
\consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"
squashedPosition = #0
}
\relative c'' {
\improvisationOn
\set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(up)
c4\boldStrDown c8\strDown c\strUp c4\strDown c8\strDown c\strUp
c4\magStrDown c8\strDown c\strUp c4\strDown c8\strDown c\strUp
c4\redStrDown c8\strDown c\strUp c4\strDown c8\strDown c\strUp
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Cheers,
~Pierre
