Thanks for your answer. It worked! Is there also a trick to set out the note names? Incase i made a mistake in the notes?? I made some lyrics and have another question. My daughter works with color from the note. I found the colours, but not every note is in it, can i copy and past more color in the colornotes.js? Is there a overview/manual from all notes in a row?
Hope to hear an answer to this questions.
Is a good programm!
Thanks. Miranda
There is a manual for creating plugins. See http://musescore.org/en/plugin-development
To remove the note names. Right click on one of them -> Select -> Select similar elements and press Del (or Cmd + Backspace on mac)
Thanks for your comment.

Thank you so simple I was looking for a delete in the file or the programme not the key board.
What do you mean by more colors ?
Currently the color notes plugin, use the convention of boomwackers. Each pitch have a different color. (C and C# are different). So there are 12 different colors.
What i mean is that i miss some notes, the ais, ges, etc.

Thanx
Ive come from the 0.96 version for PC when note names appeared at the top of the stave and have now uploaded 1.0 for Mac. Following on from Miranda's plea, how do I enter the plugin on a macbook? Each time I open the Plugin file on my Mac, there's nothing showing in the folder and I can't seem to access or edit anything to add.
Have you read the section on plugins in the manual (the Handbook)?

Thanks for that - I did look at this before:
MacOS X
On MacOS X, MuseScore looks for plugins in the MuseScore bundle in /Applications/MuseScore.app/Contents/Resources/plugins and in ~/Library/Application Support/MusE/MuseScore/plugins. Download an unzip the plugin file in one of these directories.
To be able to move files in the app bundle, right click on MuseScore.app and choose "Show package contents" to reveal the Contents directory.
However following the library link, it shows only "Application Support," then MusE, Musescore, Session, cookies.txt and Plugins. On opening the Plugins folder (nothing is showing) I can't seem to add the link in and no option to "show package contents," appears.
The instruction to "Show package contents" apply only to the first path. For the second path, you can just unzip the file in the
pluginsdirectory.When I right clicked my mouse I got the following folders:
Contents
Frameworks
InfoPlist.
MacOS
Plugins
Resources
When expanding Plugins I get
Accessible
Codecs
Graphicssystems
iconengines
imageformats
script
In any of these files when clicked I then get a terminal window - the code cannot be added or saved.
Read the instructions again. In this folder, you need to open Resources and then plugins
Thank you so much! For others who may experience the problem on Macs, you have to transfer the existing notenames.js file to trash, and import the new "notenames.txt" to the plugins menu, preferably below or above "removenotes.js" or similar. Then click "Get Info" and change the title name to the ".js" extension. This will now allow notes to go on top of the stave rather than just above the notes - just the way my original 0.96 version had.
