That worked, thanks!

Now I have another question ... this one is a bit from left field. Is
it possible to color a diacritical mark (accent) without breaking the
OpenType positioning rules in the font? This example does not work:

\relative c' { f2 }
\addlyrics { \markup \concat { B\with-color #red ́ } }
\addlyrics { B́ }

\layout {
  \context {
      \Lyrics
      \override LyricText #'font-name = #"Times New Roman"
    }
}

Why is this important? It would need to be possible to support
Znamenny neumatic notation, as in the following example, done in
Finale:  http://ecmr.t5.fi/Transcripta/KalSamogl.pdf (except that
Finale does not support this -- the modifier marks on the neumes,
e.g., the н, р, etc) need to be in red, not black.
