Re: Easy Note Heads and colors

[Graham Percival]

Interesting question!  Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how 
\setEasyHeads decides what text to print.  ly/property-init.ly contains
setEasyHeads = \sequential {
  \override NoteHead  #'stencil = #ly:note-head::brew-ez-stencil
  \override NoteHead #'font-size = #-7
  \override NoteHead #'font-family = #'sans
  \override NoteHead #'font-series = #'bold
}

Unfortunately I couldn't find any more info about "brew-ez-stencil" -- 
even grepping the source didn't turn up anything useful.  (?!)

Hopefully somebody else can shed more light on this.  Sorry,
- Graham
