The notes I added were displayed in a red color and were silent when playing back
I need help in creating a new score (please see the score attached).
When I was entering notes, some notes displayed a red color and I did not know why. When playing back, these red notes were silent. This happened especially in the altos (second line).
In the attached score, I have muted the other lines except altos.
I did a test: delete the first red note (g). Save the sheet and close it. Then reopen the sheet and add the note g again. It became red immediately. I really don't know why.
Please help. Thanks.

Notes in red indicate that that pitch is usually beyond the range of the instrument. Sometimes they will still play, but only if the soundfont contains that pitch. Altos are not usually asked to sing a Top C.

Thank you for giving me this knowledge!
I eventually changed the altos to a second soprano and lowered the key signature to G major.

is there a way to force an instrument above the ideal range in the new sound fonts? In my composition i desperately want my trumpets to soar above all other instruments with a c#6 but its one semitone above their range limit
