Default Re: Coloured text e.o.

Hi, Jaap, Sherry:

I must confess that I have been yearning for more customizable colour within the program itself.

Although I haven't found a need for colour text (or perhaps even colour notes) in printouts, I can see that it may be very useful.

One thing that I would like is customizable "paper" colours, for a specific reason: Sibelius offers a "parchment"-like background and I have a colleague (using Sibelius) who points that out as superior.

I mention that none of the paper he prints on is parchment so that his screen wouldn't actually look like his paper, but he does go on about it.

If I can have a "parchment" paper colour (if parchment paper is not an oxymoron), then that would cut the legs out from under his argument.

We all know that Sibelius (at $1,000+) holds no major advantage over Composer in terms of notation.

Only semi-facetiously,

David
