selected note colour
When I select an object, e.g. a note, it appears in blue on my screen. Can I change this? Particularly with a multi stave score, it is difficult to see the blue notes, and I would like to experiment with different colours to see which is best for me.
I cannot find this in Preferences.
Thanks for a wonderful piece of software!

I fear it is not possible.
You can try to change the background color: Preferences/Canvas/Paper->Colour, to have a different contrast.
I think this is possible, because on my computer I somehow turned that off so now the notes are black when I select them. Unfortunately I don't know how that happened....

Are you sure they are in fact selected? It should not be possible to select notes without them turning the color of their voice. It could be they are not in fact selected, like if maybe you have excluded that voice in the Selection Filter.

I think they are selected. I checked the selection filter and all the voices are included.

And you think they are selected because you are a blue box around them, and if you hit Delete they go are removed?

I can't imagine how this would be possible. Dumb question, but are you sure this is MuseScore you are looking at? What version, what OS? Can you attach a screenshot? Is it possible your monitor's blue pixels have gone dead?

Here are some screen shots. I'm pretty sure the version is 2.0.3. The notes don't turn blue, but for some reason the piano keyboard will.

Very strange! Never heard of this. I guess if you manually edited or otherwise compromised the preferences file that could do it. Help / Revert to Factory Settings would fix it then.

that worked, thanks for your help!
Hello!
Will this 'issue' receive any attention? I would also like to change the color of edited text, and the color of selected edited text. See attached image for clarification. I am using dark background, staring into white screen is not good for my eyes.
Best open-source software ever.
Thank you for sharing,
Best regards,
Simon

A little late to this but just in case anyone happens to stubble on this issue in 2021 I think I found a solution as I just had this happen to me!
Basically I just reset to the default settings in preferences and it worked for me! I have a Mac and this is what I did that worked:
If this doesn't work for you, I apologize but this worked for me. I assume there's some shortcut or glitch of some sort that put this setting on for me since I did not intentionally remove the blue selection.
Good luck everyone and have a great day! :)
