That's pure chance. I choose green for test purpose because it was neither 
black, nor blue, nor red.
I was planning to look for a better color afterwards but I still don't do it.

As the mouse wheel may change the preview this one should be very visible.
I have no definitive opinion on its look.

This is fixed in rev. 14503.

This should not be too difficult. I'll try to implement it shortly.

Years ago, when I was a student, I played cornet in a band.
I never had any problem with the low F# (which was never used in any case). 
Real problems began two octaves up.
I don't know if I should still be able to play anything today.
