function. Once this is done, the syntax for color changing is: |c0RRGGBB where RR = red
in hex, GG = green in hex and BB = blue in hex. |c0 is the token to note the
beginning of a text change. This was discussed on the StepMania development

members are loaded--they'll see resets, score finalization, etc. It

to be emitted several times.
