Color of a single voice
Hello,
one can write up to 4 different voices in 1 system. So far so good.
Is it possible to give each voice a different color without changing every single not and/or without a plugin?
E.g. the different voices are displayed during the input with certain colors already (1st = blue, 2nd = green, 3rd = brown, 4th = magenta). I'd like to have that always and even at the exportet sheets. In my case I'd like to have the 2nd voice in grey.

I'm excited about this plugin. However, when I copy it into my Musescore 4 plugins folder, it doesn't show up in the program. Any ideas how I might troubleshoot?

It doesn't show in the plugin manager?
The logs may give a hint what's going wrong

It does not. I copied both "Color Notes in Black" and "ColorVoices" into my plugins folder. The first shows up; the second doesn't.
Hate to be ignorant, but how/where can I find the log files?

Thanks for that. I did a factory reset and now "color notes black" hangs musescore. Color voices still doesn't show up.
This is a brand new computer with a fresh install of MS4, so I'm not sure where to look to troubleshoot.

Ahh. gotcha. So there are several log files in the Logs folder; not sure which is the one I want...
After resetting, I copied both files (color black and color voices) into the \documents\musescore\plugins folder.
Color notes in black shows up and color voices does not.
Is there a particular log file that will point to the problem?

The last/newest
I'll look into the issue on Wednesday, maybe on Tuesday evening, when back at my computer

Hmm, works for me, so please attach the latest log file
Edit: no it doesn't...
Error in the logs:

Should be fixed now, redownload and reinstall the plugin

Interesting. It now shows up in plugins, can be enabled and works beautifully. But Color Notes Black now hangs Musecore.

now -> still (you reported the hang earlier)

Just run the color voices plugion on the same selection (or entire score) to revert to black

That's completely perfect. What an amazing thing this will be!
I've simply removed paint black - no need for it!

I can confirm the hang, but not explain nor fix it :-(
You need to give MuseScore some kind of command or instruction to tell it to color these things. Which indeed is either done via Inspector or a plugin, such as the one linked above.
There is no magic "and do what I think" mode where it automatically can guess you wish to color things differently.
You can also do this manually.
Use the selection filter to select only voice two, for example, select all bars and choose the color. Do it similarly with other voices.
