Re: Change color for some symbols in a sylable

[David Nalesnik]

Hi again Svetlana,

I’ve revisited the functions for coloring symbols, and I've eliminated the need to provide a list of every character your text might include.  This was liable to cause problems (omissions not showing up in the score, the problem with the non-breaking space you found, etc.) and slowed the whole process down.  Now all you need is a list of the characters to color.  I don't see any differences between my file and the results of your example(3).ly, so I think I got the list of special characters right.

A better solution would be to adapt the earlier function I posted which only worked for ascii characters to handle the full range of utf-8 encodings.  This should be easy to do if I could figure out how to get Lilypond to recognize the extension functions Carl pointed out, but I can't at this point.  [Thank you, Carl, for providing the links!]

Best,

David
