High G#: never on F-horn, and mostly 2nd valve on the B-horn. Now and then it's too flat in the context, so B23.
I change usually at G# in the staff. Will occasionally play higher on F-horn for sound purposes. Sometimes D at bottom of treble clef B3. Low notes C# B23, D B12 or B3, Eb B1, E B2 or occasionally F12 or F3, F B0 or F1 depending on context. Robert N.
