ISO - Note/Tone Color Development
Using the plugin "Color Notes". I would love to a development that allows for selection of color for the notes.
Either individual selection or historical selection (as seen in Michael Deal's Color Piano V2 [ http://mudcu.be/])
Has anyone done anything like this? Personally, for my children's choirs, I use August Aeppli's coloring for everything (My first toy set of handbells used this set of tone color, and I have just stuck with it).
Attached is a screenshot of Deal's tone color selection menu.

So I came across a similar forum topic at http://musescore.org/en/node/7262 . I'm not a formally educated in code, but I believe I can manipulate the RGB values to get close to the Aeppli set of note color I'd like. Still, I would love something to be developed if someone who knows what they are doing has any interest in taking on the project! And I am still open to suggestion and instruction pertaining to this topic :)

The hardest part of the project is to get the colors for each notes and for each variation. If you can get this table, it will be possible to make a plugin with a combo box like in your example.

Ok here they are : http://rhythmiclight.com/archives/ideas/colorscales.html
Who makes a RGB table of all these?

The forum is doing odd things for me the past few hours. My first update seems to have disappeared and I am getting errors when I try to submit to this thread; so, maybe this will go through, maybe not.
I contacted the guy at rhythmiclight.com. He approximated the colors in his chart himself from the text descriptions of the colors. Still, it seems very close to the ones used in Deal's ColorPiano! app.
Thanks to lasonic for the reply above.
Explanation of attached picture:
I took a look at the colornotes.js file (http://mscore.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mscore/branches/mscore-0-9-6/m…) ; then manipulated an individual note by right clicking it and choosing color note (as opposed to using the plugin menu), which opens to an RGB chart.
For my purposes, I am going to manipulate colors until I can find the ones I want and then make a record of them so I can change them manually when I need to for my kiddos. I am also going to try and contact Michael Deal and see if he would share his color values. If not the values could be manipulated to a best estimation to correspond to the various historical sets of tone color (I should probably be consistent and say "note" color, but I have always heard those sets referred to as "tone" color); that would just take a lot of time and would not be completely accurate.
Thanks to lasconic for the reply above; and kudos for finding that chart!

I went ahead and contacted the fellow who made the chart lasconic found. I am also going to try and contact Michael Deal and see if he would share his color values.
