C in tenor line is colored
I have just downloaded the beta version (MuseScore v.2.00). I opened one of my old files, a choral in 4 parts, one part per staff. In the Tenor line, all the C's (C2 or "middle C") are colored olive green. I can't seem to find how to change them back to black. Where is the control for coloring the notes in this new version?

Could be notes outside extension?

Definitely sounds like the note is being flagged as out of range. This is not a new feature, BTW. Perhaps you had turned off that warning previously then forgot. But middle C should not be out of range for tenor voice. Are you sure it's middle C? C2 is a very low note out of range even for basses normally. Feel free to post the score you are having problems with.
Well, I suppose it could be that MuseScore is flagging the colored note as being outside the tenor range; but in that case this beta version of MuseScore has a bug because middle C is definitely within the tenor range and MuseScore is not flagging the D above it nor the B below it. BTW all the C's in that space are colored, not just one.
I've attached the file.

Well, it turns out that it was a range problem. Even though the staff has both the Tenor and Bass voices, it is listed as being for bass voice. Still, it seems odd, because C is also well within the bass range.

If you try to add two instruments, Tenor and Bass, and copy / paste the problem disappears.
I think it stems from the importation of a score created with an earlier version.

Use the "SATB Closed Score" template and look at it's range setting.
And yes, the range setting in your score are plain wrong amateur F2-H3, pro E2-D4, should be F2-C4/D2-D4 for Bass and go up to G4/A4 for a combined Tenor/Bass staff.
