Harp Color Notes by Pedal

Colors notes in a selection based on which pedal affects which notes. The goal is to make it easier to identify all the necessary pedal changes. Dialogue box allows user to select which notes.

In an extract from Swan Lake, Scene No 1 by Tchaikovsky, colorizing the E and G notes highlights all four pedal changes.
