[MEI-L] Colouring a note head

Mon Oct 16 07:45:40 CEST 2017

Hello Reinier,

Verovio does not (yet) support note at head.color, but it does support
note at color which will color the entire note (notehead, accidental, stem,
and articulation):
[image: Inline images 1]
Example MEI data:
<note dur="4" oct="4" pname="c" accid.ges="n" />
<note dur="4" oct="4" pname="d" color="limegreen" accid="f" />
<note dur="4" oct="4" pname="e" color="violet" accid="s" />
<note dur="4" oct="4" pname="f" color="chocolate" accid="x" artic="acc" />

Full example:

artic="acc" />
                                    </note>
                                </layer>
                            </staff>
                        </measure>
                    </section>
                </score>
            </mdiv>
        </body>
    </music>
</mei>

If that is not good enough, I could explain how to use note at type and CSS to
color only the notehead (I would have to test that method first).
