Red notes in tablature
Hello.
In the first measure there is only one voice while in the second and third measures I use the second voice for the basses. Does anyone know why in the 2nd tablature measure the low E notes appear in red?

It notifies you that 2 notes are supposed fo be fingered on the same string.
Not an issue here, as that's apparently what you want, and as it is the same note.

Tanks, Jojo. So it´s a kind of (dumb) warning?
Edit: and why don't the c notes on the 5th string appear in red as well, for example?.

Because you're not asking someone to play that same C twice at the same time - you only appear to be asking that for the low E.
The warning is not entirely dumb - after all, MuseScore has no way of knowing you actually intended the note to be played once even though you wrote it twice. In other situations, writing the note twice does mean you're supposed to play it twice, on two different strings. That's not possible here of course because that note can only possibly be played on one string.

Oh, I just realized that I wrote those E notes by accident in the two voices. My bad. Tank you, Marc.

Because there's no collision?

I hadn't noticed that collision with the E notes. My bad.

Indeed, it is not relevant here. But it could be in other situations (quite frequent in guitar scores.) You can hide these red squares by doing: menu "View" > Show -> Untick "Show formatting"
NB: just curious this new term, no? With version 3, it was "Show Unprintable", which seems more precise and understandable, than "Formatting" which gather everything and anything? Or is it me?

Yes, I know there are situations where you can mistakenly ask for an impossible performance, and in those cases it´s usefull to be warned with the red color. Thanks for your advise about hiding those red squares, I didn´t know that.

No. Not for impossible performance. It's real use cases in the real life of classical guitarists.

Ok, I see. So it is correct and usual to put the same note in 2 different voices, isn't it?

Of course!

And If we put a sixteenth note rest in the other voice instead of sharing the same note would it look weird? Or would it be okay too?

"Or would it be okay too?"
Yes. Both are correct. It depends on the intention, the preferences of the composer, in a word, its choice.
