Well, I *could* make that work in my case by placing that command at the 
beginning of the score and use a list with all elements black and only 
the last one in the highlighting color.

But actually I would prefer having something that I can insert in the 
input file right where it happens. Like not saying "color the fifth 
system from here (the start)" but rather "color the next system".
