To the best of my knowledge and experience, horn (“French horn”) range is about A1 to F5. Dorico is flagging G2 with that dark reddish color that I believe is supposed to be a warning.
Any thoughts on this, or should I ignore it?

Just ignore it, or turn it off. Any 4th Horn player can play that. But I do think it’s hard to attack low notes that fast, if your tempo is faster than, say, q=60.

You can switch off the notes out of range warning in View>Note and Rest Colours.

Thank you. And I probably will take away that fast pattern.
I also noticed it is flagging this, although it is a little closer to the limit. (That’s in treble clef.)
Treble Clef?
Yeah, the darker red notes are a little warning that more elementary-level players might have difficulty with that range.
(I suspect) you work in concert pitch? Normally, only written G5 and up is considered the start of the upper register.
Sorry I failed to explain. Yes, this view is concert pitch. Thanks.
