Re: Colored note heads with black outline

Hi Onno,

There is no specific function for what you're looking for.

Here's a little trick which is far from perfect but make the job :

\version " 2.16.2" % works also for v2.17

nhSO = {

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\translate-scaled #'(0.2 . 0)

\magnify # 0.8

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

\translate-scaled #'(0.08 . 0)

\scale #'(1.03 . 1)

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

}

}

nhSI = {

\once \override NoteHead #'layer = #2 % this line is not necessary for v2.17

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\translate-scaled #'(0.11 . -0.01)

\scale #'(1 . 0.82)

\rotate #'7

\magnify # 0.85

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

\translate-scaled #'(0.07 . 0)

\scale #'(1.02 . 0.98)

\rotate #'2

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

}

}

nhSII = {

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2"

\translate-scaled #'(0.07 . 0.01)

\scale #'(1.01 . 0.98)

\rotate #'2

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2"

}

}

\relative a'

{

\nhSO a1 \nhSI a2 \nhSII a4 \nhSII a8 \nhSII a16 \nhSII a32 \nhSII a64

}

Cheers,

Pierre
