This is not a big deal, just odd, and I’m curious.
I have erased and re-drawn this chord several times just to see what would happen. Different notes come up colored violet, and I have no clue why.
Notes will appear violet if they can’t be assigned to a string on a fretted instrument. If you think all of the notes in your chord are playable, you may need to give Dorico a hand: select each notehead in the chord in turn and activate the String property in the Properties panel, and assign the desired string to each note.
This is interesting.
The other string indicators make sense, but I don’t understand the 0 associated with the pink note for E. I would expect the string indicator for E to be 4.
This is causing me no trouble, nor do I expect it to. It’s just an oddity.
Well, Dorico can’t assign that note to a string automatically, so the string indicator won’t make any sense until you fix it up such that it’s valid.
If you attach the score here we can take a look - I’m assuming that you’ve set some sort of custom tuning here so it’s possible that something’s gone wrong in defining that.
Are you using a cappo? Normally, the open string would be a D not an E.
