the yellow note
see attached
any note above high B turn yellow on the screen....
happily it doesn't appears yellow in the pdf.....
this measure is cut out of a file by suppressing any other staves and measures. There was a parallel staff with the same notes which did not show the trouble....
I glimpse in the XML file, but saw no reason for it

The red and yellow notes are described in the first section of New features in MuseScore 0.9.5 .
In the prereleases for the next version of MuseScore the yellow and red notes are darker and more readable by default and there is a preference option to turn them off.

for sure I'll remember it.....
happily in my case it's baroque music, and the A is 415......
Yellow note head show what is in the range of the instrument but could only be played by a professional. If you right click on the staff of an instrument you will see a small pop-up, if you then click on staff/part properties it will show you the instruments range. There are two ranges, Amateur and Pro, Showing there respective ranges. For example the top note of a violin pro's range is a G seven, if you put a g seven on the staff the note will be yellow indicating it is a note only available to skilled player, if the note is red it is deemed unplayable. If you yourself, or someone you know of, can play a higher note feel free to adjust the range though.
