You can colorize events or parts with the Color tool. By default, events or parts follow the color of the corresponding track. However, you can overwrite this setting and, for example, select the same color for events or parts that reside on different tracks.

Procedure

  1. In the Project window toolbar, select the Color tool.
  2. Do one of the following to select a tool color:

    • Alt/Opt-click an event or part to copy its color.

    • Move the mouse pointer over the Color tool, and use the mouse wheel to step through the colors of the current color set.

  3. Optional: Select the events or parts that you want to colorize with the Object Selection tool.

    This is only necessary if you want to colorize multiple events or parts.

  4. On the Project window toolbar, select the Color tool.
  5. Click the events or parts that you want to colorize.

Result

The events or parts are colorized and no longer follow color changes of the track.

Note

You can also Ctrl/Cmd-click an event or part with the Color tool to open the Choose Event Color pane or to select colors by names.
