Marking sharps/flats to change colors
Is there a way to mark all sharps or flats? I want to change colors of sharps to red and flats to blue. I can change it selecting each individual note but it takes long time.

Or in this case rather:
Right click, Select, More...
Check "same subtype"
So you only select all sharps or all flats and not all accidentals at once

Indeed, there is "more" and it allows to select things more precisely. Tahnk you for the good hint.

Indeed, it helps to select only # or b accidentals. However, if I want to select all sharp notes I have to do it note by note. I was wondering if one can simply add to "select" all sharp or all flat notes. I make sharps red, and kids can easily see them. It helps in case of complex phrase.

" I was wondering if one can simply add to "select" all sharp or all flat notes"
That's exactly what Jojo suggested in his post above:
"all similar on an accidental does not apply to any [specific] note"
So you have to click on an accidental (let's say a flat), then Select > More... > Same subtype (accidentalFlat) > OK, then change the colour for all the selected flats in the Inspector.
