As you may already have noticed, I added colors according to Kieren's 
suggestion
in GIT. Based on my experience from writing research articles, colors in 
the
figures is just positive, as long as you make sure that
- No colors are too light so the figure is readable also when printed in 
B/W.
- You use also other methods to distinguish between different cases, as 
we do
 here with the note head shapess, so no information is lost when you 
print in B/W.

For this specific case, I expect the printed version to be just as 
readable as the
old purely black version, since all the colors are dark enough. For the 
on-line
version it's a clear impovement, in my opinion.
