Hi everyone,
I know that a pink question mark should indicate one or more notes being out of range, as reported from online manual, but I can’t explain why I get one with this super common G major chord on a standard tuning…
I doubled bass G to have a double stem but in this case I should get one or two green notes, as stated in the same manual page (if I’m not wrong)…
Is there a way to eliminate that question mark without changing notation or making it invisibile?
Thank you,

There must be something odd with the instrument you’ve loaded in Setup mode. When I reproduce it with Classical Guitar (factory settings) I get :
I thought it was because the low G was in a second voice, unison, but like @MarcLarcher , I couldn’t replicate it.
But playing around some more, I can replicate it with shift+i ‘1’ (note, I didn’t spend any time trying to “fix” it).
Hi @MarcLarcher, it’s a common classical guitar but that’s not the problem, I think it’s like @derAbgang wrote
and myself wrote in my post:
in fact, if I delete one of the two low Gs (Gs? 
) pink question mark disappear;
but: as I can get a double stem for low G in another way? I did exactly what @Lillie_Harris suggests in this thread…
Maybe having a double stem is not a fundamental thing but it’s more complete, in my personal purpose, and I wish I could choose, anyway…
Thank you both for answering and supporting,

One more doubt, if possible… Why the “issue” is only in the tab staff and everything appears to be ok in the regular staff?
By doubling the low G, you have created (in Dorico’s mind) a 7-string guitar, which confuses the TAB translation routine and results in the question mark for where to find information on that mythical seventh string.
If you have the unison notes in separate voices with opposite stem direction then Dorico will “realise” that this is just a notational convention for a single note, and so won’t warn you.
Hi @Derrek, I definitely have to improve in “Dorico psychology” 
Jokes apart I would suggest programmers considering this option for the future.
In my first example I do have low G in both voices with opposite stem direction, and in the regular staff part all is ok; probably the issue regards only tab, depending on the reasons Derrek suggests…
I generally don’t use tabs and this was an experiment so, should I need to have both regular staff and tablature, I would need to eliminate one of the double low G in the staff because pink question mark is not hideable… (if I’m not wrong)
Thank you both for answering,

Hi again @derAbgang , I was reading your previous post again and I ask myself: how did you get to have two voices for the low G and no pink question mark? Did you set some particular pref that I’m missing?
Upstem-voice (low to high) B, D, G, B, G, down-stem voice, (low) G = 6 strings.
Edit: Any unison on a six-string chord will produce a question mark, it seems. As @Derrek says, Dorico thinks it’s a 7-string guitar and as @Richard_Lanyon remarks, Dorico understands separate voices.
In working with TAB for mountain dulcimers, I get a lot of red question marks since Dorico cannot handle the mostly diatonic tuning with a couple of extra fret on some dulcimers labeled 6+ and 1+. These generate question marks in the custom tuning I have set; so I need to export parts into PDF and use a PDF editor’s Comment function to overwrite the question marks (which in my case are on, rather than below, the TAB-staff lines) using carefully sized Comment fields with no border and a white background.
It’s inconvenient to correct each one by hand, even with Copy/Paste, but since I do not expect Dorico to cater to dulcimer TAB any time soon, I do it to produce my arrangements and transcriptions. So it is possible.
Thank you for the hint, Derrek! I’ll keep it in mind 
I’ve found a little workaround inside Dorico: if you do a little screenshot from a white page (like the full score) and you import it in a graphic frame in engrave mode then you won’t see the question mark anymore in print mode (I tested it with a part page)
after
I’m still not sure why you need this workaround - for me this works already:
chord example.dorico (1.4 MB)
Perhaps you could upload a project where this is going wrong for you, and we can take a look?
Hi @Richard_Lanyon, I simply don’t want the pink question mark but I can’t get rid of it without a workaround…
May ask you which voices have you assigned your low Gs to? I can’t open my project because I’m on an iPad now but I’ll check this point too tomorrow on my MacBook.
Thank you very much for trying to help, for now, very appreciated!

One is in up-stem voice 1, and the other is in down-stem voice 1.
Mine too… I really don’t understand…
Anyway: I deleted down-stem 1 G then I rewrote it, just to try before answering, and question mark vanished…
I’m afraid we’ll stay with this question unanswered… 
Thank you so much for your support, @Richard_Lanyon!
