Re: Automatic lyric colouring

[Urs Liska]

I *think* what is necessary here is an "engraver". This will process the stuff in a second run-through and can determine what happens in other contexts at the same time.

Probably too complicated if you're not already familiar with Scheme, but worth the effort for your use case,  I think. There may be people on this list who can help with that. 
Could become a useful snippet for LSR or openLilyLib.

I worried that it might involve Scheme. I should certainly investigate it but I'm already extremely out of my depth! The material is simple but as I'm planning on compiling between 100-200 songs using up to 5 notes (for Kodaly/Orff-style music programmes), if the lyrics idea could work, I'd like to be able to do it.

Thanks for your input!

Hi Jack,

So, in such simple music probably no melisma. I don't work with lyrics but you would have to write a Scheme function for the lyrics that computes the pitch of the associated note and figures out the corresponding colour. Is it worth the complexity for such simple works?

However, others may already have frameworks for such a function. We will see!
