Hello, I would like to enter noteheads in a different color, but just a part of the noteheads, not all of them.
Is there a way to do that?

Many thanks!

You can't do that in PrintMusic.

Workaround:

"Print" the document to a PDF file, then edit the PDF with a vector drawing program (e. g. Illustrator).

Many thanks. But this sounds complicated. I don't have such a program. It could be an enhancement for the next version.

That won't happen. In fact, if 2011 was any guide, I wouldn't be surprised to see more features removed.

If you want to color the noteheads, start saving up for Finale. Sorry.
