Re: coloring notes with more voices in a staff
Dear William, Aaron and Pierre, thank you so much for your quick reply. I ended up writing it using the hint by Aaron like this (which I find makes writing the individual voices easier and also 'flipping' the color over to the other voice): /\version "2.24.3" \relative c' { f2( g4.) << { \override NoteHead.color = #red g8 | f4 f4 g8 a a4 | a2. } \\ { d,8 | d4 d4 e8 f f4 | f2( e4) } >> a8 r } / which gives: Thanks again, Joop On 18-03-2024 19:06, Pierre Perol-Schneider wrote: Hi Joop, I'd forget voices and do: \version "2.24.3" nr = \tweak color #red \etc \relative c { f'2( g4.) 8 | <\nr d f>4 q <\nr e g>16 <\nr f a> a8 r4 } HTH, cheers, Pierre Le lun. 18 mars 2024 à 18:44, Go77 a écrit : Hi, I'm trying to color the note heads of a single voice in a staff.

Since you did not use \\ within the << >>, there is no implicit voice creation. As it stands, you only have one voice. You can review the documentation ([1] and [2]) for more information on creating voice contexts.

Re: coloring notes with more voices in a staff
Dear Joop, Use \tweak color #red , like so \version "2.25.6" \relative c { f'2( g4.) << { d8 | f4 f4 g16 a } { \tweak color #red g8 | d4 d4 e16 f } >> a8 r4 } Thanks, -William On 3/18/24 12:41, Go77 wrote: Hi, I'm trying to color the note heads of a single voice in a staff.
