hi Simon, David, Peter and Ben:
Thank you for your answer. Here is so many ways to color lyric text. I am wondering, if one method is better than the other.
Thank you,
Ming
Here is the various method.
\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"
\header {
title = "test to set lyric text in color"
}
global = {
\key c \major
\time 4/4
}
sopranoVoice = {
\global
\dynamicUp
r2. r8 e'16( d') |
c'8 ( c''4) a'8 g'8.( f'16 e'8) f'8|
e'4 d'4 c'2 |
}
clrGreen = { \override LyricText . color = #green }
reVrt = { \revert LyricText . color }
clrRed = { \override Lyrics.LyricText.color = #red }
clrBlue = { \override Lyrics.LyricText.color = #green }
clrBlack = { \override Lyrics.LyricText.color = #black }
verseOne = \lyricmode {
\clrGreen 宇 宙 \reVrt 宇 宙 \markup \with-color #red 萬 物 頌 揚
}
verseTwo = \lyricmode {
宇 宙 宇 宙 \clrRed 萬 物 頌 揚
}
verseThree = \lyricmode {
宇 宙 宇 宙 \clrRed 萬 物 \clrBlack 頌 揚
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Soprano"
midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
} { \sopranoVoice }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
\addlyrics { \verseTwo }
\addlyrics { \verseThree }
\layout { }
\midi {
\tempo 4=100
}
}

Or

\revert LyricText . color

}
