ABCarus offers the option of using background and note colors. These are not currently supported in MuseScore?
It would be great if you didn't have to use the annotation tool for this, but could have the information directly in the ABC file.

I'll have to see if it's an abc2svg issue or a .svg issue. The specification for svg files is pretty insane (and there isn't a common library to get everything for free), so if abc2svg starts using uncommon things in the svg files, it causes a huge number of headaches.

The ability to apply color or background formatting to certain ABC elements, such as parts markers or jump markers (Dasengo, Dacapo, etc.) in ABC, would be very beneficial for me.
As a vibraphonist, I am about a meter away from my sheet music due to the geometry of my instrument. Due to my age, my eyesight is no longer the best. Since I unfortunately have to look where I am striking with my mallets from time to time, colored jump marks are very important to me. Until now, I have been doing this with appropriate annotations. However, since these are not object-bound, they shift when transposing or when switching to another tablet.
Nevertheless: It's just great what possibilities mobile sheets already offer.
