Hi Jean,
I like the idea that it should be possible.
I would like for it to be (easily) customisable.
I already have a text editor colour scheme that I use for music, for
parts and scores I have found it is not so important.
My perspective is that I only need colour for highlighting key items
within music such as \time, \tempo, comments, \override, bar lines and
'beat space'; beat space is 2 white spaces that I use to delineate music
within a measure, I find having this as bright white on a pale silver
background really helps.
Thank you for throwing this out there, and sorry that you will have 1001
conflicting opinions on how to progress!
Good luck.

Hi all,
There is an ongoing proposal to add syntax highlighting
in LilyPond's documentation. Since it is a notable change
to the documentation reading experience, user feedback would
be appreciated. You can browse a syntax-highlighted version
of the notation manual here:

For comparison, this is the current notation manual:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/index.html
The main questions are: what do you think of the principle?
And is the color scheme good enough?
Thanks in advance,
Jean
