Option to disable coloring of selected note

Plugins like colornotes and Chord Identifier (Pop & Jazz) would be a lot more useful if one could get rid of that ugly blue cursor and make the selected note take the color it has in the score. As it stands, I don't know which color a plugin has assigned the note in question without moving away from it. I was considering making a plugin that could use a stripped-down version of Impro-Visor as a server (since that program is no longer maintained) in order to provide a note-coloring feature that would identify chord tones, "color" tones, and so on.

Looking at the source, I see noteinputcursor.cpp and other files that apparently control this behavior, but since I don't know C++ or Qt I don't know what exactly needs to change. (The lack of comments in these files doesn't help, either.)
