Using colors can be useful in many ways.
Probably especially in the teaching material. Or maybe just for decoration.
Take a look at the examples on the right.
There are nine predefined colors, consisting of three base colors—red, green, and blue—each available in three different shades.
You apply them by writing p1-p9.
red colors: p1,p4,p7
green colors: p2,p5,p8
blue colors: p3,p6,p9
Use a lowercase p(1-9) if you only want to change the color for the next chord.
Use an uppercase P(1-9) if the new color should stay active until the next palette command.
Want your own colors? Just define them using hex color codes.
E.g. P1 #f53497
E.g. P1 yellowgreen.
See the available CSS color names.
Want to go back to the original color? Just use P0.
In most cases, this means black — unless you’ve set your own custom foreground color.
There is a setting to toggle on/off the use of palette colors.
You find it under page settings.
You can disable the color palette to generate a black-and-white version of your chart without needing to remove all the individual palette commands.
