Changing voice and playing bar colour
I am using musescore 3.2.3 in ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
Musescore is always great to use, but I would like to ask how can I change the voice and playing bar colour?
From the picture you can see the note of voice 1 is blue, voice 2 is green, voice 3 is orange and voice 4 is magenta. Can I customise the colours?
Also, the playing bar is blue, can I change it into other colours?
Please reply, thanks.

Yes, you can edit the colors in Menu Edit/Preferences/Advanced. Scroll down to the bottom.

Also the playback cursor?
If yes, what is his name?
Apparently, the "ui/" lines don't take into account the translations

ISTR that that color is hardcoded.
There was some work from spire42 that would make this configurable (along with some other improvements) but I can't find it back in the PR list, so likely his work is still in an unfinished state.

Not without changing the source code of the program, no.

Remembered: MS chooses an accent colour based on the colour of voice 1.

@yonah_ag
Could you go to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced tab (as in the image Pentatonus posted above) and look at that pink color in the list to let us know what the ui setting on the line with the pink color says?

ui/score/voice1/colour
I have set this colour to bright red which makes the playback cursor pink. I've just tried black and get a nice grey playback cursor.

Hi. I am using MuseScore 3.61 still, and wanted all voice 2 notes to display as red, when viewing the score without playing it. I followed your advice, changed the menu as you instructed, and got all voice 2 notes to display red, but only when the mixer is playing them. Is there a way to have MuseScore color all voice 2 notes red on the sheet music, without having to launch the player? I tried using the voice color plugin but I don't know how to edit its file to recolor voice 2 red (it is currently green, and voice 1 turns blue, which I don't want). I want voice 1 to remain black. Can you help? How do I edit the plugin or main program 3.61?
Thanks

In MuseScore 3, select all voice 2 (right click on a voice 2 note > Select > More > Same voice) then, in the Inspector, click on the black color and change to red.
