Re: How to color objects that cause collision

[Paolo Prete]

I don't think it's a bug. It's a snippet from the official documentation.

Look at the first snippet in the following page, there's a collision as well:

LilyPond Learning Manual: 4.6.3 Real music example

A function that helps in discovering these things would be really useful...

If LilyPond knew that there was a collision it wouldn’t engrave it that
way so IMO that’s a bug. Without knowing about a collision LilyPond
cannot tell you about it ;)
