and if you think I'd consider doing it, email me (stephen at musanim dot com).

Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean?
A: The colors indicate the "pitch class" of the notes; that is, every B is a certain color (blue), every E is a certain color (violet), etc. The choice of colors is based on the "circle of fifths," which you can read about here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths
