Its interesting reading forum posts especially as a newbie, lots of info.
One thread recently was about song formatting and how some use the "linear" system to type in the chords and others more familiar use codas etc.
As a beginner I am using the linear way and of course have a page full of chords which gets smaller each time you add a verse or chorus.
At this point Part markers are confusing me on how they react but working with it.....however I just thought it be would be great if you were able to highlight in different colours (as in a spreadsheet) the verse and the chorus and the bridge then a lead break in different colours so you could identify where you are in your work. It would be easy to find the verses to tidy up and make changes rather than getting frustrated with a page full of chords that look all the same.
Just a thought.

They could do it any number of ways, highlight the section then choose a color or Bar-based Section Color picker, set the color at that bar then go to the bar where the section changes and set a new color ???

That was funny. A casual reader might spend time trying to find the command! It does not exist yet.

As has been said, this is a very creative idea, and it's from one of our more recent contributors.

This would be so much better than those tiny little red lines that indicate when e.g. a solo has been un-muted. Currently you have to click on F5 and look at a large drop down to see what the red line means.

+1 Colorful idea.

While not the same, I combined the predefined colors for the section A & B part markers with the bar based section letter option and was able to create the mock song below in less than a minute.

While I just used A & B part markers I easily could have extended the idea to incorporate more colors by using additional part marker pairs (C & D, E & F, and so on all the way to Y & Z). Also, if I didn't want to incorporate additional styles then when creating the additional part markers select the same style over and over.

Leave the chords blank and save the part marker, bar section letters as a blank chords song for use as a template.
