Coloring one note of a chord -- ALSO: Using a bracket to label the interval of a chord
Hello.
I'd like to know if it's possible to color a single note in a chord. If I use the plug in for coloring notes, all the notes are colored, according to their pitches. When I go to "display" and click on "palette," I get a selection of everything from shapes of notes to articulations, but no palettes. Nor is the instruction book helpful in this instance.
Also, I'd like to know if it's possible to employ a (very tiny) bracket between two notes of given chord. I would then label the interval according to it's size.
Thanks very much.

To color a note, right click on it -> color
For the bracket, select one note of the chord and double click the bracket in the Glissando palette. To add a text, select a note and Ctrl + T. Once the text is ok , you can drag and drop it to the right place.

Great! I futzed around for about an hour, and you with your explanation it took, oh, maybe four seconds to color a note.
Regarding the bracket, I'd like it to embrace only two notes in a triad. Is there a way to size the bracket?
I really appreciate your help.

HI again. I don't suppose there's a way to flip the bracket around to that the prongs point to the left, is there? Also, is there a way to include more than one bracket per chord?
Many thanks.

I'd consider using ordinary staff text for the brackets - then you can use any character available to you in any font, and size it however you like..
I'm working in Musescore2 and am trying to color individual notes manually. When I right click on the note, as mentioned above, there is no "color" option. How can I manually change the color of the noteheads?

Most of the right click properties from MuseScore 1.,X are available via the Inspector in 2.0
Probably you should open the inspector (menu: view or F8). There is the possibility to change the colors.
