Setting Instrument Names to Italian removes “flauto piccolo” from the list of options. I think Dorico wants me to choose Ottavino instead, even though it’s only used within Italy if I’m understanding it correctly. I have to manually rename it.
My assumption is this is because language in Instrument Names is a localization feature rather than a reflection of common musical convention. Is this correct?
And a related question (localization vs convention) - is there a way to use the German naming system for notes (H and B) without changing system language into German? Actually - is there a way to use it at all?
Many thanks!
