Comment #2 on issue 1018 by percival.music.ca: colors in web->examples  
would be nice
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1018

The examples are generated from .ly files during out build process (similar  
to
Documentation/snippets/ ), so any change must be made to the .ly file.  It  
might be
good to work on the .ly file directly instead of sending .pdfs around.  The  
files are
in Documentation/web/examples/

This is the kind of thing I was looking for, but I have a few concerns:
- I'd like to have more colours (especially not just red, since that's used  
already
on the Ancient music example) -- blue, green, etc.  Maybe not yellow, since  
that
doesn't show up so well against white.
- I'm not certain if Schenkerian notation ever uses colours.  If the  
standard for
this type of musical analysis is *never* to use colours, then we'll look  
like idiots
if we add them to that particular example.
- the Schenker example is credited to Kris Schaffer, and linked to his  
Linux Journal
article -- I'm a bit hesitant to change it.
(BTW, I noticed a missing period after the link; could you add that?)

ick, I just re-read my initial comment and realized that I explicitly asked  
for
something in the Schenker example.  Oops!  (in my slight defence, IIRC when  
I wrote
this request, we weren't linking to the linux journal article)

... ah, screw it.  It's open-source.  Let's colour-up the Schenker example,  
but add a
sentence to the description saying that we've added color for better  
visibility.
Please use one colour for P+N scripts, one for 3^ 2^ 1^, one for two-note  
slurs, one
for multi-note non-dotted slurs, and one for dotted slurs.  Oh, and one for  
the
diagonal lines between notes of different staffs?

hmm.  That might be a bit too garish.  Ok, what about P+N, 3^2^1^, slurs,  
and angled
lines?  4 colours is probably a good number to use.  Or you could use more  
colours,
but use different shades of colours for the slurs (i.e. dark green, medium  
green,
light green).
Oh, there's also the I V I chords.  Those should have another colour (or at  
least
shade), too.
