Voices 1 and 2 were easy to distinguish in MS 2.3:
But in MS 3.2, they are too close in hue:
Comments
From the release notes: Make basic colors of the application including voice colors consistent
colors can be set in Edit > Preferences > Advanced
not a regression, but a deliberate decission
Surely there should be a better contrast between the two voices?
I don't understand what was inconsistent about the voice colors before, and what is consistent about them now.
I think it has to do with an overall shifting of the colors to avoid confusion over the various different blue colors used to indicate either voice 1, an unprintable element (breaks), and styled values in the Inspector, which was soemthing pointed out in the Tantacrul video. Not saying the new colors are objectively better, but I think "consistent" means, "better sense of differentiation when looking at the overall whole".
I used the preferences to return all of the colors like they were before the latest change. I sort of understand that it's a little confusing the the note being placed color is always the same as voice 1, but that didn't bother me so they're back to the old way for me.
I'm not sure I get what you mean about the color of the note being placed always being the same as voice 1. Surely that was never the case?
Interesting. I guess I just enter notes from the keyboard so much I never noticed the notes changing color. Ignore my last statement and pass a bag.
