Color Note Heads

How do you color note heads for selected notes in the score?
Can it be that hard to do?

Please do not double-post or triple-post. :-1:

Hi Bill.
Select the notes, check the properties panel (the bottom one, accessible through ctrl/cmd-8). In the first column, you’ll find « colour ».
Make sure you export your files (or print) with the colour option enabled.
Hope it helps!

Oooh this is a good start - is there a way to customise the Figurenotes Noteheads? I can only seem to access them with notes highlighted for editing. If I could change the colours of the Figurenotes or create my own colour set, that would be handy - can you advise please?

Go to Notehead Sets in the Library menu (of Dorico 4) and choose Pitched Noteheads.

Then double-cllick a notehead to edit it and change its color.
