Another possibility would be to use a simple JavaScript function to
automatically color the code on the client side: perhaps you would be
interested in having a look at the following script I adapted a few
months ago, in an attempt to make a LilyPond web editor:

I implemented the full LilyPond API in regexps; then it is colored
using a simple CSS sheet.

Of course, it could be great to have colored code in the PDF docs as well :)
