Generally speaking, publishers in countries with Romance languages seem to  
use the Sol-Fa syllables to name the key the horn is in (Corno in FA, Cor en  
Si-bemol). French sticks with UT, Italian (and I believe Spanish) use DO. If  
they don't qualify the Syllable name with a flat or sharp symbol, then "flat" 
is  some version of "bemol" and "sharp" is some version of "diese."
 
German uses mostly the same letter names as English--the only thing that  can 
trip up English-speaking horn players is Horn in B, which means "Horn in  
B-flat" in English (German uses "H" for "B-natural" so the Bach Mass in B-minor 
 
in German is in H-moll).
 
Scandinavians, do you use the German system?
