__Allows you to specify a color for individual pitches, using separate colors for enharmonically equivalent pitches (such as F#/Gb). You can use it to apply a rainbow of unique colors for each pitch, or use it for proofreading and analysis. __Double sharps and flats can be colored the same as an enharmonic pitch (Gx -> A), or the same as the corresponding single accidental (Dx -> D#), and quartertones are colored as the nearest flat or sharp. You can, however, select a color from the double/quartertone lists, and all double accidentals or quartertones will get the same color, regardless of pitch. __One significant feature is the ability to edit the RGB values of any of the named colors in the color list. So if you like a different shade of red or yellow, you can have it. __The plugin saves its settings (in the plugin Preferences database), so your rainbow and your RGB edits and be set up once and retained across Sibelius sessions. __Note that, as with all coloring in Sibelius, all notes in a chord will be given the same color, unless the notes are in different voices. __Updated 2 June 2006 to allow it to use Colored Notehead Styles to color notes, so that notes in a chord can have separate colors (Feature available in Sib 7.1 and later). __Updated 15 June 2015 to remove any application of specific colors to specific pitches. A user may create their own color scheme and save it to be used as the default colors. Googling on color music scales will yield some historical coloring schemes. __Updated 15 April 2016 to allow coloring of individual note objects __Updated 24 April 2016 for minor tweaks. __Updated 26 April 2016 to allow coloring of individual note objects __Updated 12 November 2016.

Added ability to color lyrics, internal code changes to share RGB editing code with Apply Named Color- Download ColorEnharmonicPitches.zip (26K, downloaded 886 times)
