I want to use Alto Flute in G but the instrument list only contains (strange enough) non-transposing alto flute. Can I create an instrument with transposition, and add it to the list?
(Yes I will update to a newer version… just can`t do it during a project…)
Confusingly, the alto flute is sometimes called “bass flute” in British works. Alto flutes may have a straight or curved head joint, whereas the actual bass flute in C, sounding an octave below the regular flute, always has a curved head joint.
Yes, possibly even earlier. I was working on that particular section in Dorico starting in 2019. No problem using an Alto Flute for it, and none developed going forward.
