Take this song for example:

I would want all the d notes one colour, and their lyrics the same colour, and all the b notes and their lyrics a different colour.

This is for very young children learning the basics of what pitch means. They use coloured instruments such as bells, chime bars and boomwhackers. Melisma would have to be a special case.

Hi Jack,

What do you mean exactly? The snippet colours noteheads according to their individual pitch. What if your word spans multiple pitches, what colour do you make it? This sounds somewhat illogical, or at the least confusing to read for a musician. Can you explain more?
