Printing score background color, any idea?

Hi,

Is there anyway to print a score’s background color to PDF?

I have set this color for my score background: (#e7d4bf)

Thanks

Probably easier to apply a tint to the PDF afterwards.

I have a python script that does this. (You’ll need to install python and the pyObjC library, though.)

github.com

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# TINT: v1.1
# Overlays a tint over the entire PDF.

import sys
import os
import Quartz as Quartz
from Foundation import NSURL, kCFAllocatorDefault

# Loads in PDF document
def createPDFDocumentFromPath(path):
	url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath_(path)
	return Quartz.CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL(url)

# Creates a Context for drawing
def createOutputContextWithPath(path, dictarray):
	url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath_(path)
	return Quartz.CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(url, None, dictarray)
