Note color
My need is to change the whole notes of an instrument in a system.
I've read how to change note color, but I can't find the color menu in the v2, I only figure out how to change line color of the score.
Can anyone help ?

All note properties and most other properties of elements in general is in the Inspector - see View / Inspector. Unlike the old modal dialogs, you can simply leave Inspector up all the time, which is a great convenience.

Thanks, I didn't know this tool, just what I need.

I see how I can change noteheads color, but how can I change color of the whole note? See image: like the red ones:

Select the stem(s), beam(s), flag(s) and color them
(a "whole note" is somrthing different though, no stem, flag or beam, just a notehead, so you probably mean whe whole chord, as that's what it is, even of the chord has only one note)

@ Jojo-Schmitz: Thank You for your answer!
Yes, this is what I did with the red notes, but it's very time consuming (stems, beams, flags etc.), I hoped there was a way to color the entire/complete/total note or even the entire staff.
PS: I supposed that "whole note" could cause a misunderstanding :-) sorry for my English...

Use a range select, maybe along with the selection filter

@Micrologus, perhaps already mentioned...
Ctrl+A;
Inspector->click the black box->in the dialog box choose e.g. red;
Click on the set color button.
Then you're gonna have to edit a little bit

Viva viva la musica! :-)
I need to change the colour of nearly every element in certain bars. The reason? To highlight certain themes in the music. So for example, "in the 3rd bar of the soprano line", make the notes and stems and rests red (but not the bar lines or staff lines). Then "in the 5th and 6th bar of the tenor line" make the corresponding elements blue etc etc and so it goes on.
Doing this with the inspector takes ages because you can't 'select' the noteheads, stems and rests all in one go. The Ctrl A idea is no good because it selects all the part so that's no good! Any suggestions please.
I'm not sending an example - I have tried to describe the situation in words fairly simply - hope it's clear!
Gratefully,
Ali

Stupid me! - yet I think this is a better answer to the others in this thread - go into select the whole bar and open the inspector and click the (black) colour box at the top of the element group window, select a different colour and then click Set colour. I wish though that this was explained in the help section!

Glad you figured it out! But for the record, the various ways of making selections are explained pretty thoroughly in the section devoted to that topic.
