Can this be avoided (even at the cost of not coloring them even if tweaked)?

Sure, but I wouldn't want to settle!

The attached should work for the most part.

That's my purpose, so I will give you feedback soon. The first
impression is that it colors too much (hairpins, dynamics and ranges of
note heads).

Make sure those aren't instances of \override rather than \once \override ...

Another issue of relevance here is that using \voiceOne, \voiceTwo and the like creates lots of overrides "behind the scenes".  These will of course be picked up and colored.

Run the attached.  In the log output you can clearly see the wealth of overrides which have bee added to the music _expression_ by the \voiceOne command.  Comment it out to see the color magically disppear.

There is no realistic way I can see to sort out "hidden overrides" caused by \voiceOne, \voiceTwo and actual explicit use of \override.

Now, if that isn't a problem... :)

P.S. The attached won't play well with user overrides of 'after-line-breaking.  Optimistically, it's a corner case :) Anyway, I give up for the time being.
