About 50 years ago my clarinet teacher, who was also a composer, said he used to use colour on things like repeat bar-lines when producing scores to aid sight reading. I’m not sure what else he coloured, but that idea could be useful for people who have trouble distinguishing natural/sharp signs etc, as some commentators have noted. Perhaps highlighters could be used, red for sharps, blue for flats etc.
My teachers scores would have been done by hand. Colour printing was expensive in those days, so it would have not have been practicable for published scores. These days it shouldn’t be a problem. I expect professional pride and resistance from publishers would prevent the use of an idea like that these days. Has anyone come across the idea of colour in music being used anywhere ?
