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
The error is due to the \cr not being attached to a note, not the override.
It sometimes helps to attach dynamics to a zero-length spacer note - s1*0.
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.
Here's your example adjusted to work:
blueDyn = \once \override Hairpin #'color = #blue
\relative c'' {
r4 d4 \p d d |
\blueDyn s1*0 \cr
\repeat "unfold" 4 {d1~} | d1 | d1 | d1 \f
}
Finally, when does one have to include the context, like \once \override
Voice.DynamicText #'color = #blue?
For this, read the Learning Manual ... :)
Thanks for your help.
