I should probably find something else for pitches and
durations. The example does look overwhelming, but it
was intentionally constructed as a showcase for many
pieces of syntax and builtins. A typical score mostly
consists of long runs of pitches and durations interspersed
with articulations and commands, so I think making many
distinctions should be fine as long as the most common
parts of the syntax have colors that are easy enough
to read.
