Re: Staff colour in ancient notation

[Joseph Haig]

Interesting.  I had not seen this before, but a quick Google search
suggests that it is not unknown for chant to be printed in black and
red.  Just for reference, it seems that, based on the documentation,
this was changed in Lilypond between 2.4 and 2.6.

Thanks,

Joe
