Working With Notation
m
Use the Settings: Score Colors key command.
The color palettes are used by different color modes (see “
page 775). Clicking on any color opens the standard Colors window, allowing this
particular color to be changed.
Colors are saved with the project, and can be different for each project.
There are three palettes, and some additional options in this window:
 Pitch Colors: Each note of the octave is assigned a color. They are arranged like piano
keys. The Diatonic and Chromatic radio buttons determine whether there are twelve
or seven different colors.
 Velocity Colors: These eight colors are applied in accordance with the MIDI velocity of
notes, from left (minimum) to right (maximum).
 User Palette: These colors can be freely edited and named, using the text entry boxes
beside them. These names are displayed as color options in different color selection
menus (staff styles, note attributes).
 Note Color Options: These options determine whether accidentals, dots, and rests, are
displayed in color (according to their note associations), or in black. Rest colors only
apply to user rests, which are mainly used in polyphonic staff styles.
 Factory Defaults: Click this button to reset all changes you have made in the Colors
window.
