Would definitely like to see customization of the notes displayed on the piano roll with regards to velocity grouping.  The current scheme of how the colors of the note change (low velocity: purple, blue, green; high velocity: brown, pink) is quite confusing.  A gradient for a selected color from light to dark would make more sense and it would be easier to understand.  The current colors also do not look to good on a lighter color theme and would benefit from darker colors instead of the pastel-like ones we are given.

This should be easy to do, why don't we see that feature added? I use my own palette for every note and play music using them, my keyboard and guitar are colored and I use a custom plugin for Musescore. Default color scheme for midi notes just confuses me.

Please, add this.

I'd at least like to know how to turn it off.
