Color‑coded section backgrounds (especially in Galley View)?

Is this what you’re looking for?

I created a solid line body with a Line width of 4 and a line using that line body with the Placement set to Inside staff. Then I applied that line with the ends attached to barlines to each section of the piece. Finally, I selected each line and changed the Color property to the desired color with the Opacity on macOS or Alpha channel on Windows set to a small value to create a mostly transparent line.
