Re: Staff colour in ancient notation

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't really know anything about gregorian chant notation, but if you 
refer to
section 7.7.11 Gregorian chant contexts, it mentions "Editio Vaticana"
and I guess that the inspiration to use colored staves comes either from 
that edition
or from original manuscripts.

If you want them in black, just add
\layout {
   \context {
       \VaticanaStaff
        \revert StaffSymbol #'color
        \revert LedgerLineSpanner #'color
   }
}
somewhere below the line
\include "gregorian-init.ly"
in your .ly file.
