Fretboard diagrams - multiple dots - open string
As of version 3.5.2, there is no way to combine Open String and Multiple Dots in Fretboard Diagram.
This use case falls under the same criteria as multiple dots for fretted strings: for either sequential playing or alternative fingerings.
This can be achieved if the Open String symbol "O" was treated the same way as a regular (fretted) dot, when it is applied with Ctrl. Currently, when Open String is applied (with or without Ctrl), any fretted dots are automatically removed.

Indeed, this has been requested a few times on the forums in the last few months but, as far as I know, there hasn't been a formal/official request for this in the Issue Tracker.
Just done for you, see: #313875: Fretboard diagrams : multiple dots AND open string

Merci!
Hopefully the formal request will expedite implementation.
I also use such diagrams for scale/shape fragments to help visualize and instantly recall the notes in a bar or phrase. Sort of a cheat sheet, but very helpful to remember pieces quickly especially after some time.
