Low D _or_ D flat (it's not standard; and some manufacturers put the Eb on the top row of rh little finger keys and the Db on the bottom). The thumb keys also vary between manufacturers ... :-( The same concerns also apply to basset horns and basset clarinets. For bass clarinet, the lh first finger plateau key has a small hole in it that is left uncovered for altissimo register fingerings, so you need to be able to indicate the difference between first first finger covering or uncovering the hole. You can see a (not very well executed) example of the typical way of showing this here: http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/basscl_alt_2.html ... where they show a second, smaller circle filled-in below the empty first hole to indicate this fingering. There's also the issue (for clarinet) of French vs. German-system instruments. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
