Changing the Note Head Color

You can give a note or a group of notes a certain color using the color palette popup menu on the Status Bar:

The To pop-up menu applies as always. If you want to color all notes, make sure the To popup menu is set to “All”.

2. Select a color from the color pop-up menu on the Status Bar.

 

The color is applied to the note head(s) and accidentals.

About Additional Colors

If you have activated the option “Use Colors for Additional meanings” in the Preferences–Scores–Editor Behaviour dialog, some objects will automatically be displayed in color, to indicate that they are “special” in any way. For example, slurs and note symbols that are moved from their default positions (see page 208) will be displayed in red.
