With my understanding of chords, I found that BIAB can copy almost all song accompaniments, allowing me to easily perform and even make music.
The Chorus part of most popular songs will have string elements.
Do you have any experience to share about these?

Well, yes, the point of BIAB is to make music. And yes, strings can often be a good choice in the chorus/bridge of a song.

Many of the BIAB styles that have strings play them only in sections with the B part marker (green), often used for the bridge/chorus.

It depends on what Strings 'Style' you are looking for. Pop, Funk, Disco, Rap, Jazz, Latins?

A basic search on my system shows over 1,000 Styles with 'strings'

thanks!
Can I ask a question here?
I want to mark a particular chord and change it to a color? For example, it becomes red or blue.
Can BIAB do it?

Those are two different causes shown in your graphic.

The blue are part markers. A measure can be blue (A), green (B) or no color. A few styles are multistyles and allow many more colors. I suppose you could create a dummy multistyle with the same patterns, and use that just for colors.

The red underscores are the indicator from BIAB that some editing of that measure was done by F5. You can press F5 on a measure and you will see that something was changed: the tempo, volume, muting of an instrument, the style, or many other possible settings.

I didn't make myself clear.
Those red lines were drawn by me with software.
I want to turn those frames into all red or blue. My goal is to open them next time and see the marks because those chords are special.

Looks like we're on a different topic now (this started as a question about strings).
In the future, when asking a question about a different topic, start a different message in the forum. Thanks.

Colors and the Chord Sheet:
Now that you have made yourself more clear, I will try to address the goal you shared: You want to open the chords and see the chords you want to mark as "special" in a different color than the other chords that are not marked "special."

Are you asking if BIAB has a feature which allows you the user to change the color of individual chords on the chord sheet, then save those changes so you can see them next time you open the chords? If that is indeed your question or request, then I will answer based on my knowledge as follows:

I believe BIAB has the ability to change the font type, size, and color for ALL chords on the chord sheet, and users do not have the ability to customize the chord symbols nor the background shading for individual chords or measures.

I believe the advice above is correct, and I believe the answer is No if this is what you are asking.

I agree with Rocket. Please start a new post if the subject matter is different. Here we are investigating font colors for a post named 'String Problems'. This makes it difficult to keep track.
