Multi-Color Beams

[ccarlsen94]

I need to change the beam for the 8th notes to RED and the beam for 16th notes to GREEN.  If a 8th and 16th note are beamed together the 8th note portion of the beam should be RED and the 16th note portion should be GREEN.  How do I add this code to the XML and will MuseScore know what to do with this change?

MusicXML could do that, MuseScore cannnot

Thank you. How do I code this in MusicXML? Do you know what music notation software would be able to read this change in Music XML?

Try the attached musicxml fle

beamcolors.zip
Check out the musicxml itself, with an editor, to see how it is done.

MuseScore 3.6.2 and 4.4.4 doesn't read those colors at all, 3.7, 4.5. (Beta) and 4.6 (master) do, but only one per set of beams

However: questions like this should not be raised as issues, but probably better as discussions or in the musescore.org forums or on Discord. Same goes for your other recent 'issues'

Thank you for helping me. This is the first time I have done this and I was just following MuseScore's instructions to me.
