Hi Tim, hi all, About this issue with the color editing features that should not be displayed for "Arranger", "Big Time" and so on in the Colors tab: Yes, I understand you, from a logical point of view it is not necessary to not display the color editing features for these items, but users might think that there is something wrong in MusE if they are displayed.
