Hi,

Might I suggest different colored carets for when you are inputting in different voices? Many times have I been inputting in the wrong voice, only to have to re-input everything because of being in the wrong voice. I love the little quarter note on the left, but colored carets could help even further.

Thanks!

Juan

- 1, because I make many mistakes when I have more than one voice.

Here’s an earlier thread on the same subject:

We don’t have any plans to do this, but I appreciate that it is an idea that has support from a number of users.
