Andrew,
Please read every post of a thread. We're defending grosso modo the
same opinion.
Then I wrote 09 aug 2008 09:18:46 GMT+02:00:
"in Do" is italian style, opposed to "in Ut" which should be of
french usage.
while on 10 aug 08, at 23:28, you wrote:
Trompette en ut (lower case, please!) is not at all archaic (see,
among others, Messiaen: _Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum_). In
fact, I'm not at all sure that "trompette en do" is even
permissible. "Tr. *in* do", which has been cited in this thread, is
not French at all but Italian.

Furthermore I'm looking in my library at several scores by Ricordi,
Leduc, Legrand who all use upper case (!) "en Ut" (French) and "in
Do" (Italian).
But as I stated too: in many contemporary scores, there's no
uniformity more as "tromba in C", "trompette en Ut", "trumpet in Do
(!)" is found in various combinations. And this statement I'm making
is apart from any linguistic correctness: I only tell what I see in
our not so uniform Europ.
