I am taking advantage of the availability of Croma di Brera (but not only) to ask if it is possible, once the staves and instruments (in this specific case, voices) are set up, to have the product highlight any deviations from the known extensions considered as "possible."

Example, if I dedicate a staff to the soprano voice, if I were to use an A2 (considering C3 as the central one), it would be nice if the notation product marked it, I don't know how, but that it highlighted it.

Conceptually, it seems like a triviality to me and I find it simple to implement ... I don't know if it has ever been implemented and if so, how to use it.

Thank you

Yes, guitarist; Sibelius automatically reports the range "overflow" for the indicated instrument with a different coloring of the notes (in red): precisely, it indicates those "at the limit" with a lighter color and, with a more evident tint, those that are truly impossible. Naturally, these are general indications and, just to name one thing, Sibelius does not take into account the possibility for many instruments (strings and winds) to resort to harmonics, nor, obviously, the difficulty of a tuba or a bassoon, for example, in performing a trill on the lowest notes...

Sorry Croma Di Brera, do I have to do something or is it already active by default... from the way you talk about it it seems like it's already active.

Small detail, was this function also in version 5? ...the one I use?

It seems to me that yes, it was also on the 5. In any case, as soon as I can I will check if it is active by default (I think it is) or if it needs to be activated with a specific command.

Found it, thanks

There is nothing to activate, it was just me not focusing on the differences
