Coloring ornaments

[David Fedoruk]

Hello:

I am trying to color ornaments based on which of the composer or
editors suggested them. Setting a variable for each color and
articulation seems like it should be almost the same as for a simple
NoteHead. Since the articulation is a property of the note, the
override should be a simple extension of the ones in the manual. So
far my best guess based on what I've found in the manual and the list
archives is this:

% articulation-type (string)
color = \override NoteHead.articulation-type "mordent" = #darkred

Lilypond complains about the "-type"  and also complains about
"-mordent", so that is not right, but I do not know where to go from
here.

Help on this would be appreciated,

Cheers,
David
