Low e notehead appears colored differently on score
Hi,
I'm building up a bass transcription and am noticing that the low E notehead consistently gets colored in a mustardy yellow color (see screenshot).
Is there something I can do to avoid this? I have even gone to Style -> Text styles for these note heads and it seems as if the color selected is already black. Something must be up with the way that Musescore chooses to visualize that low E.
For reference, my Musecore version is:
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.3.2-241630831, revision: 22b46f2
Thanks,
Jason

MuseScore colors notes outside of the range of an instrument, yellow if outside amateur range, red if outside professional range. Those colors don't print though, you see them only on screen. And you can disable that, in Preferences

Hm, interesting, the low E of the bass guitar would be outside amateur range, as far as Musescore is concerned?

yes, apparently so
Sure it is an E2? Sure it is a bass guitar?
Because when I try that is not colored

This is not the case by default; see image below (new score for bass guitar just created) , the E is displayed as expected. What do you mean by transcription? What is the source of your file? An import in XML, MIDI, of PDF conversion, or other format, perhaps?
EDIT: And if so, replace your current instrument for a... Bass guitar (in Properties panel or in Staff/Part Properties). This will reset the instrument as defined by default in MuseScore.
