Re: Coloring Ledger Lines

[David B. Stocker]

Okay, David provided the answer to my last question about the spacing, I just had to figure it out.

It seems like a hack to my, but it achieves the result I'm after, so if no one has a more elegant suggestion, this is what I'm going with:

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {

indent = 0\in

ragged-right = ##f

}

\score {

\new Staff <<

{ \repeat unfold 17 { \startStaff s4 \stopStaff } }

\relative c, {

\clef "treble_8"

\cadenzaOn

\override Staff.NoteHead.color = #grey

\override Staff.Stem.color = #grey

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.color = #grey

e4 f g a b

%\stopStaff

\revert Staff.NoteHead.color

\revert Staff.Stem.color

\revert Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.color

%\startStaff

c d e f g a b c

\override Staff.NoteHead.color = #grey

\override Staff.Stem.color = #grey

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.color = #grey

d e f g \bar "||"

}

>>

\layout {

\context {

\Staff \remove Time_signature_engraver

}

}

}

Thanks again, LilyPond Community.

Cheers!
