ColorNotes v2 ( colors also stem and beam)

Oh yes good point - else the file will get killed by the update.
However maybe the intentions was that one of the Musecore developer may review it and put it partly or full inside Musecore 2 so it'll be in the next update. *smile*

Someone of them in here reading reading this?
Or how to contact them make a contribution to the source?

However path should be:
%USERPROFILE%\.musescore\plugins\
It'll get expanded to somewhat like
c:\Users\Alpenmilch\.musescore\plugins\

I'll edit the initial post.

Of course it's a compromise
even the implementation is a little hackish.
But i got the idea when searching this forum for 'ColorNotes' before creating a new thread.
Crossreading the posts I saw that there were somewhere the need to also color the stem and beams of to notes. I a thought hmm maybe nice to 'prepare' try out this ability.
And I kinda liked it so I keeped it in.

And of course I'm award of the clash
Mostly there are single notes with on head + stems.

• If not the color from the highest note is applied.
  The highest note is what leads the melody
• The beam connection notes get's the color from the last note in it.
  So you may see where the melody heading. Kinda of it's edges, turning points.

But so far to the theory in practice I confess it'll also look kind da mess to me:

compared to:

btw that's the score http://musescore.com/user/589901/scores/393171

However one a second glance I start liking the first, even more colorful scope - I'll follow some rules and if you can intuitively grab it - it's helping you digesting the notes easier.

But if not - don't hesitate to drop/ disable the too colorful part of the code (mentioned in the initial post).

The only thing that really disturbs me here is the tone of the yellow. it has a really bad contrast on white.

So and why a little hackish? (Sorry for offtopic)

property variant cursor : curScore.newCursor();
function applyToNotesInSelection() {
...

putting cursor out of the function 'applyToNotesInSelection'
and later also using it in the function colorNote

var the = cursor.element;

What is not so good is the tendency of 'cursor' becaming a 'global variable'.
Better/cleaner style maybe to pass it as parameter like:
colorNote(TheNote, cursor.element)
or the use of closures

function applyToNotesInSelection() {
var cursor = curScore.newCursor();
function colorNote( TheNote ) {
...
var the = cursor.element;
...

}
...
}
so the scope of cursor get's more tight and close to it's use.
