Is it possible to write texts (both sung and free) in color in Finale without resorting to images?

Finale has a bad relationship with colors (Sibelius would have taken a moment, even for the notes)

The only way is to exploit external products like Adobe Illustrator CS6.

Unfortunately Zedef is right, Xenakis, I spent years agonizing over the issue... among other things, something that in Sibelius is disconcertingly banal.

Even when asking support, the answer is "third-party product"

Me too, but it's such a pain if you need particular formatting that you have already imported into Finale... during the transition from one software to another, XML or non-XML, it is not all that transparent afterwards...
