Re: Colored note heads with black outline

[Onno Zweers]

Hi Pierre,

Thanks, that is exactly the effect I had in mind! Looks great!

One question though. I intend to apply this effect to many different lilypond scores. Currently I include a stylesheet.ly from all my Lilypond files to produce the colors. It would be great if I could just add some code to my stylesheet to get this outline effect, instead of overriding individual note heads. Would that be possible?

Kind regards
Onno

Hi Onno,

There is no specific function for what you're looking for.

Here's a little trick which is far from perfect but make the job :

\version " 2.16.2" % works also for v2.17

nhSO = {

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\translate-scaled #'(0.2 . 0)

\magnify # 0.8

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

\translate-scaled #'(0.08 . 0)

\scale #'(1.03 . 1)

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s0"

}

}

nhSI = {

\once \override NoteHead #'layer = #2 % this line is not necessary for v2.17

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\translate-scaled #'(0.11 . -0.01)

\scale #'(1 . 0.82)

\rotate #'7

\magnify # 0.85

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

\translate-scaled #'(0.07 . 0)

\scale #'(1.02 . 0.98)

\rotate #'2

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

}

}

nhSII = {

\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {

\combine

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2"

\translate-scaled #'(0.07 . 0.01)

\scale #'(1.01 . 0.98)

\rotate #'2

\magnify # 0.9 \with-color #yellow

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2"

}

}

\relative a'

{

\nhSO a1 \nhSI a2 \nhSII a4 \nhSII a8 \nhSII a16 \nhSII a32 \nhSII a64

}

Cheers,

Pierre
